Long Beach

The interior of this Craftsman number is lined with an abundance of original wood moldings and built-ins that mercifully, in the main living areas, have not been painted over. In 1,484 square feet, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home also contains a formal dining room, a bonus room that could be used as an office or sunroom, and a laundry room. Located off Fourth and Obispo, in a supremely walkable part of Long Beach that’s just about a mile to Bluff Park and the beach, the 4,500 square feet-property (which comes with a detached one-car garage) is asking $849,000.
