Description
Extensively upgraded 1960's modernist home situated in the gated enclave of Virginia Vista- a small grouping of residences that share a 6.5 acre park-like setting overlooking and adjoining Long Beach's historic Virginia Country Club golf course. Rarely offered, this primarily single story home includes 3 ground floor bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus an additional upstairs 4th bedroom/office loft in just under 3,000 square feet. A monumental, more than 16' tall freestanding slumpstone fireplace anchors the open plan living and dining area, with its soaring wood beamed ceilings and north facing wall of windows directed towards expansive greenbelt and golf course views. The original owner was said to have been one of the first to buy in the tract- selecting this particular homesite for its magnificent view. Sliding doors open out to a patio area with outdoor dining, lounge seating around a Lumacast concrete fire pit, outdoor tv, and an adjacent built-in bbq grill/fridge/food prep area. In the newly expanded family room, a sculptural tile wall makes for a dramatic backdrop, lit by day via 4 large skylights and by night via LED uplighting. The kitchen, two guest bedrooms and full bath, plus entry foyer all encircle a private atrium with garden area and corten steel water feature. Sliding doors and windows surround it to benefit each of these spaces with natural light and ventilation throughout the day. The upstairs loft/4th bedroom overlooks this atrium and makes for an excellent office workspace sequestered from the rest of the home. At the other end of the home is the spacious primary bedroom featuring a two distinct well organized closet areas plus a large en-suite bathroom with white oak cabinetry and glass surround shower. In the bedroom, a 3/4 height wall serves not only as a backdrop for the bed and bedside lighting but also obscures a hidden desk workspace and peloton bike behind it. Through the sliding door, another unobstructed greenbelt view and additional patio area. The yard has been planted with varied fruit trees including Orange, Peach, and Avocado. A shared community pool is located at the far north end of the property. Recent updates include: HVAC + ducting with dual zones, full electrical rewiring, full plumbing re-pipe, Jeld-Wen wood clad windows + doors throughout, LED lighting, Lutron RA2 home control, kitchen + bathroom renovations, French white oak flooring, Velux skylights, 220 volt car charger, and much more. Well situated in an area known for its tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, adjacent Dominguez Gap Wetlands, and an incredibly quiet, peaceful atmosphere. A vast array of options for shopping, restaurants, and breweries are all in close proximity.
