Spacious, SINGLE-LEVEL living takes center stage in this beautifully maintained South of Conant home, newly built (for the area) in 2005 and designed with comfort, scale, and functionality in mind. 3 BEDROOMS + PLUS AN OFFICE | 3.5 BATHROOMS. Set on a mature tree-lined street just one block from Wardlow Park and approx. 5 miles from the ocean and Belmont Shore, this property combines impressive interior volume with a highly desirable Long Beach location. From the moment you arrive, the home’s striking curb appeal stands out with a welcoming arched front porch, oversized entry door, beautiful pavers at the driveway, and classic red tile roof. Inside, you’ll immediately appreciate the sense of space created by 10-FOOT CEILINGS THROUGHOUT, elegant crown molding, and 8-foot arched doorways. The heart of the home is the HUGE CHEF’S KITCHEN WITH OVERSIZED ISLAND, featuring granite countertops, two sinks, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, cooktop, dishwasher, and solid maple cabinetry. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, family room, and living areas, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. MARBLE FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE MAIN LIVING AREAS adds a timeless and polished look, while a LARGE FIREPLACE anchors the living room. Designed with flexibility in mind, the spacious layout includes generously sized bedrooms and an office adjacent to the family room that could also serve as a fourth bedroom, nursery, or private workspace. The HUGE PRIMARY SUITE (~23′ x 17′) WITH WALK-IN CLOSET offers exceptional space, including a luxurious en suite bath with an oversized Jacuzzi tub. A standout feature of this home is the thoughtful bedroom configuration: the front bedroom includes its own attached bathroom, and each bedroom enjoys direct access to a bathroom with a shower, plus a convenient half bath for guests. Additional features include CENTRAL A/C AND HEAT, recessed LED lighting, ceiling fans, copper plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel, dual-pane windows, and washer and dryer hookups inside the home. Step outside to the COVERED ENTERTAINING PATIO WITH SKYLIGHTS AND CEILING FANS, an inviting extension of the living space that’s perfect for gatherings year-round. The backyard also features mature fruit trees and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Rarely does a newer-built, single-story home offer this combination of size, functionality, and location in the highly sought-after South of Conant neighborhood. Don’t sleep on this one!
