616 Saint Joseph Ave

Never before on the market! This gem is in a much sought-after neighborhood in Long Beach, Alamitos Heights, with its award-winning schools: Lowell Elementary, Rogers Middle School, and Wilson High School. This two-bedroom, one-bathroom single-story home is city living with a low-maintenance, country feel and wide-open green spaces. Get to know your neighbors while sitting on your cozy, drip-irrigated front patio. Or tend to your backyard, drip-irrigated vegetable and herb garden. Never worry about your plants or vegetables getting watered! The beautiful Recreation Park is adjacent, so while sitting in your private spa, you look up to the treetops of the park, not your neighbors' windows. Enjoy the hot tub, complete with a waterfall feature and colored lights while sipping your favorite beverage. Sit in the living room by the fireplace with its floor-to-ceiling windows, and watch the wide array of colorful birds--from red finches to blue buntings--bathe, splash and drink in your birdbaths and fountains. Or enjoy entertaining in any of the four distinct outdoor living areas. By adding a rooftop deck it opens up virtually 360 panoramic views! The 9-hole golf course is a mere 100 yards and the 18-hole golf course is just down the street. The recently renovated Colorado Lagoon, with its nature trails, is directly across 6th Street, so you can take the peaceful paths of the Colorado Lagoon on your way to dine and shop on 2nd street in Belmont Shore. Enjoy beach living at its finest--just close enough to the city.
