Sold! Luxurious Estate on Half Acre of Prime Land in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach

Seventy-five years ago, a wise developer made a significant decision that would result in the creation of a remarkable estate located in the coveted area of Bixby Knolls in Long Beach. This prime corner property at 4365 Cerritos Avenue boasts 20,468 square feet of land, which is nearly half an acre! The goal of this luxurious estate was to create a peaceful and private oasis, which is precisely what was achieved.

The entire property is enclosed by a tree-lined fence, providing complete privacy. As you walk through the lush gardens, the smell of the exotic plants from around the world is intoxicating. You can see the Hoya Flowers bloom as the Dogwood petals flutter in the afternoon breeze. The magnificent olive tree outside the West-facing bedroom windows is an impressive sight to behold.

Upon entering the home's formal entryway, you will immediately notice the attention to detail in the millwork against the mirrored background. The living room, to the left of the foyer, is complete with exquisitely polished hardwood floors, a stately fireplace, and wall-to-wall windows. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room, complete with delicate trim and panels and a stunning vintage chandelier.

Between the dining room and the kitchen, you'll find a sunny and bright breakfast nook with built-ins and delightful details. The kitchen is a perfect blend of mid-century and diner-style with a lovely figured glass window, an electric range, and a gas barbecue built into the counter. Behind the kitchen, there is a guest bathroom and a pantry.

The family room is truly something special. It features rust-colored shag carpet from floor to ceiling, copper light fixtures, and a swanky walk-in bar with a stainless circular bar top that matches the stainless fireplace. The primary bedroom boasts finely milled built-ins and a Storefront door leading to the garden. The sunken tub in the adjoining bathroom has a glass wall with a garden view.

But that's not all! This estate also includes two additional dwellings with rental potential. The Cabana Room/Glass House is fabulous, with a gigantic bath/jacuzzi made of emerald green and maroon tile. The bathroom has a classic maroon toilet, pedestal sink, and shower. The second studio is complete with a kitchen and a bathroom.

This one-in-a-million property is nearly half an acre of prime land and needs restoration. However, the effort will be well worth it. Imagine spending your days lounging by the mid-century style rectangle-shaped swimming pool or playing croquet or volleyball on the lush green grassy area. The potential for this property is limitless, and it's no wonder it sold so quickly.

In conclusion, the sale of this remarkable estate at 4365 Cerritos Avenue in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach, is a testament to the beauty and privacy it offers. From the meticulously selected exotic plants to the carefully crafted millwork in the formal entryway, every detail of this estate was created with luxury and tranquility in mind. While the property may need restoration, the possibilities are endless, and the new owners are sure to create a home that is truly one of a kind.
