The El Cordova is a historically significant Spanish Colonial Revival courtyard style 20-unit condominium complex designed by architect George R. Riddle in 1928. It is also designated as a protected historical landmark where residents enjoy a significant reduction in annual property taxes through the Mills Act. The El Cordova was prominently featured in the wide release film “La La Land” where Emma Stone’s character resided. Located in the diverse and eclectic Alamitos Beach neighborhood of Long Beach and just a short stroll to the ocean, parks, dining and shopping. This architecturally striking second story corner end unit features many original details including glowing oak hardwood floors, soaring beamed ceiling, interior wrought iron doorway screens, original wall sconces and door hardware and divided light swing-out windows. All rooms are filled with natural light and the bedroom is situated to benefit from the ocean breeze. The spacious living room features a very large walk-in closet that is ideal for bicycle storage or perhaps creating a hidden office area. The bathroom has a marble tiled floor with classic shower in tub, period appropriate tilework, pedestal sink and cruise ship wall sconces flanking the medicine cabinet. The hallways features a storage closet, built-in drawers and linen cabinets. The kitchen is well designed with original white-washed cabinetry, classic “toast & butter” tile countertops & backsplash and walk-in storage pantry. The breakfast room is light filled with hand painted tile wainscoting and architectural partial room divider. The kitchen also features a side exit with convenient access to the laundry facilities and garages. This unit comes with one secured parking space and storage space.
