This stunning duplex on one of Belmont Shore's most beautiful and quiet streets was originally built in 1931 and completely rebuilt in 2020 with a spectacular remodel.
131 Park consists of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the upstairs owner's unit, with an option to use the back of the upstairs home as a separate guest suite with private bathroom and lounge.
129 Park has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
No expense was spared and the results highlight a ton of custom features, such as new wood floors, new glass and wood doors in the living room opening to Juliet balconies, beautiful custom tile, central A/C (upstairs), new gas central heater, 2 new on-demand, tankless gas water heaters (one per unit), new plumbing throughout both units, new electrical wiring throughout both units, new insulation throughout, the oversized 2-car garage has new steel garage door, new solid core wooden interior doors, new safety glass front windows, new front doors upstairs and downstairs, new custom cabinets throughout the upstairs unit, with new quartz countertop in top floor kitchen and bathrooms. The downstairs kitchen and bathroom are refurbished (bathroom has original 1930's tile), and has new commercial-grade carpeting.
The front courtyard is a quiet oasis in Long Beach. The plantings feature a miniature Moro Blood Orange tree (last year was the first harvest of sweet blood oranges). The 2 Queen Palms provide shade to the front flagstone patio. The fountain and abundant flowers (jasmine, Black-eyed Susan, Lavender, Ivy Geraniums, and Bougainvillea) attract butterflies, pollinators and hummingbirds. The automatic irrigation system makes garden maintenance easier.
The original barrel and cove lathe and plaster ceilings as well as arched windows and archways have been maintained in both units. The top floor residence has a gas fire place.
Long Beach has easy access to the 110, 710 & 405 freeways to commute to LA or Irvine. This particular home is ideally located on the middle block of beautiful Park Avenue, 1 block walking distance to the ocean, beaches and 1 block to the shops and restaurants on 2nd Street, a short distance from everything else Long Beach has to offer.
