Stylishly updated mid-century modern pool home in Long Beach's sought after Plaza neighborhood. A gridlike concrete block wall at property line provides for an elevated and secure front yard play area. It is just a glimpse of the recent and thoughtful landscape design that surrounds the home as well as expands its interior spaces outward; a nod to the era from when it was originally built. This along with the home's distinctive roofline, expanses of glass, and stone facade provide clues to what sort of spaces are found beyond its brightly colored front door. An open plan greets you at the entry: sleek quartz topped island kitchen, living room with wood burning fireplace, and dining area that opens directly out to a raised patio. Beautifully refinished hardwood flooring begins here and then leads down a hallway past three ground floor bedrooms and two well designed bathrooms. At the end of this hall is a beam ceilinged great room that directly overlooks the pool and opens to the outdoor patio via an expansive sliding door. The entertaining spaces of the home intersect by way of these large center opening sliders and connecting patios. Upstairs is an uncommonly spacious master suite. A well organized work from home desk area is situated near the entry stairwell, while the main bedroom section contains space for sitting areas and multiple areas of storage, including a vast walk-in closet placed behind the bed. An en-suite 3/4 bath occupies one corner of the room, and a rooftop view deck accessed by sliding door the other. Last but not least is the finished garage, with its transparent glass paneled rollup door, built-in storage, and west facing slider that provides sunlight as well as a view across the pool. Technically still a garage, its current use as an indoor/outdoor living area and workspace is easy to appreciate. Located in a well kept neighborhood with top rated schools; in close proximity to the spectacular 800 acre El Dorado Park and nature preserve, as well as the San Gabriel River path and its direct access to Seal Beach.
