Leave the car at home! This fabulous, walkable 753 sf one bedroom/ one bath condo is located in the desirable Carlton Imperial building in the heart of the historical Bluff Park neighborhood. Just two short blocks from the coast, it offers rejuvenating ocean breezes, plus the location is in convenient walking distance to dining, boutiques, trendy coffee houses and 5 min from Belmont Shore's 2nd St and all its offerings. Enjoy the sunsets and popular community yoga on the bluff, or walk to the nearby weekly Farmer's Market. (This unit has a 90 Walk Score!) This truly is one of the best locations in Long Beach. The building was designed by locally renowned Mid-Century architect/builder Paul McKenzie, known for his quality workmanship and ample floor plans. This beautifully updated home features crown molding, plantation shutters, many windows, vinyl plank floors, a spacious living room & dining area both overlooking the lovely landscaped courtyard. The cheery kitchen has been updated with granite counters, a soothing green glass backsplash, tiled floors accented with white cabinets and appliances. This ALL ELECTRIC unit includes cooktop, wall oven, fridge, microwave and washer/ dryer (condition unknown). The well-lit full-sized bathroom is updated with beadboard-style cabinet with stylish porcelain vessel sink, banjo granite counters to maximize usable space and tiled floor. The large and inviting bedroom boasts THREE closet spaces: a wall-length closet; a separate, deep closet; and a third closet which is currently used as a nook (could be converted back or used for a desk/office area as well). And there is plenty of storage in the hallway's built-in cabinets as well. The building is beautifully maintained, demonstrating pride of ownership, and the HOA is well run. The secured lobby was recently remodeled and exterior paint/stucco is slated as the next project. Balcony law issues have been addressed. Additionally, the building offers good security (intercom entrance, key fob entries, secured subterranean parking and lots of lighting). This unit includes one parking space with storage, and elevator access. Pet friendly, too! Popular building and location, so move quickly on this one!
