3730 Rose AVE Long Beach, CA 90807

This 1936 California Heights traditional home has been loved by the same family for nearly 32 years. The owner, sensitive to the historical nature of the home, was thoughtful when expanding the original 2-bedroom, 1 bath home to the present 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath, 1,926 sq ft home. The front room and dining room boast 1930s architectural details such as coved ceilings and an arched doorway between the rooms. Ceilings throughout the first floor are 8 ½ feet. Dining room has original wainscotting and built-in cabinetry, and flows into the new addition of the house: a large family room with a custom seashell tiled half-bath, and laundry closet with hookups.
The stairwell is bathed in light from the glass block windows on two walls. At the top landing there is space for an office or small sitting room. From here enter into the large primary ensuite bedroom. Enjoy a spacious walk-in closet, and a 30s style tiled full bathroom featuring a pedestal sink, built-in medicine cabinet, and a glass block wall.
The efficient galley kitchen is done in cheerful 30s style tile work, has a built-in 5-burner, 36” gas cook-top, wall oven, and dishwasher. Other features include: maple cabinets and floor, ample counter space, and plenty of natural light from the north facing windows.
