Think back to a time when you planned a getaway to that quaint bed and breakfast that felt so warm and inviting. Now imagine you are coming home to a place like that in the heart of Long Beach, just down the street from top rated Prisk Elementry and Trader Joes. All the elements are here, a romantic brick fireplace in an open beamed family room, a sunny bay window pouring morning sunlight on the dining room table at breakfast. Then meander west to a Norman Rockwell setting under a mature shade (or climbing) tree on the spacious back lawn. This picturesque sycamore tree is flanked by a cozy gas firepit & sitting area plus a secluded corner table to indulge in your favorite beverage, beside a melodic fountain niche. You might be asking yourself..."Sure, but what will it look like after they move all their stuff out?" and here is the beauty of this property, you can keep it all, just bring your clothes and a toothbrush. This is a functional short-mid term rental for traveling nurses and homeowners escaping their major remodels. most of the furnishings, art work, kitchen items, linens, etc. can stay as you see them now, or we will simply make it go away at your request. So if you have the "Black and white & 5 shades of gray" interior design blues and you're ready for the warmth of real wood and red bricks that will stand the test of time, then your search ends here. As for the nuts and bolts the HVAC and dishwasher were installed last year, the exterior was recently painted, the walls in the garage are removable with a few bolt extractions, to allow for vehicle parking inside the workshop and laundry room garage. There is attic access with a pull down ladder and a 10x10 finished floor. The smart home is set up for voice controls on the firepit, fountain and interior/exterior lighting. Ring doorbell, wifi thermostat, irrigation & door locks throughout, the pot belly stove in the addition has a gas supply line to keep it warm in cooler weather. enjoy dual pane or muntin windows throughout and a dutch door in the kitchen. There is also additional storage behind the garage accessible through the gate.
