Some homes whisper history. This one hosts it for dinner. Set in the storied enclave of Recreation Parkjust north of Long Beachs iconic Traffic Circlethis landmark 1923 California Craftsman stands on a rarity: a 6,752 square foot lot that never succumbed to subdivision. The result? A gracious front yard and a true backyard oasislarge lawn, trees and flowering gardens that practically insist on long tables, late evenings, and one more bottle of wine. Spanning 2,452 square feet, the home artfully balances heritage and livability. A thoughtfully integrated second-story primary suiteadded decades agorespects the original architecture while delivering the space modern life demands. In total: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a layout that feels both grounded and generous. Period integrity remains the headline. Original hardwood floors, andcrafted built-ins, and restored wood-framed double-hung sash windows (many dual-pane) preserve the soul of the home while quietly upgrading efficiency. The recently renovated main-floor bath brings a tailored dose of luxury with designer tile, champagne gold fixtures, and a furniture-grade vanitya gentle nod that 1923 can, in fact, age impeccably. And then, a modern twist: seller-owned solar (12+ panels) and an EV charging station position this century-old beauty firmly in the present. Add central heat and air conditioning, and comfort is no longer a compromiseits a given. In a neighborhood where charm is expected, scale, condition, and authenticity at this level are not. Quite simply, there is nothing else like it. Opportunities like this dont wait
