A Charming 2 Bed/1 Bath 1920s Duplex in Retro Row, Long Beach
Step inside and the light hits first. A bank of original 1926 mahogany, wavy glass windows pull the California sun across gleaming oak floors. This is a thoughtfully restored duplex apartment where vintage craftsmanship and everyday comfort are genuinely in balance.
The layout feels spacious and livable, anchored by a decorative fireplace, original wall scones, and the kind of architectural details you simply don't find in new construction. Central air and heat, in-unit laundry, and a dishwasher mean you're not trading character for convenience. The recently updated kitchen and bathroom add to the charm of this unit.
Outside, a private front patio is yours for morning coffee or evening conversation. The shared backyard is a calm retreat: lush with fruit trees, colorful flowers, a fire pit, and a bubbling fountain. Hummingbirds included.
The location is a quiet oasis in the heart of vibrant Retro Row's independent restaurants, boutiques, and the historic Art Theatre on 4th Street, with the beach minutes away and Downtown Long Beach an easy commute.
