1840 Carfax Ave, Long Beach
Welcome to 1840 Carfax Avenue, a quintessential example of Los Altos living. On the market for the first time in 64 years, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over half a century. This beautiful three bedroom, two bathroom home has an expansive backyard and is located on a charming, tree lined street. The front yard greets you with a plush lawn and several mature trees, including one of the jacaranda trees that this neighborhood is so well known for. Once inside you will notice the spacious family room, which has been extended and is accentuated by a slider door leading to the backyard. At the front of the house is the renovated kitchen, including a dining counter that opens to the family room. Going through the front hallway you find an ample amount of storage space and the first renovated bathroom. As you head further through the hallway, you find the first and second bedrooms both boasting original hardwood floors. The second bedroom also features an extended walk-in closet, which is rare for this neighborhood. The primary bedroom has been extended and features its own over-sized walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom, and a slider door that leads to the backyard. Once in the backyard you find a detached two car garage with driveway access, allowing for tremendous ADU / In-Law suite potential. You can also set this room up as your home office as you work from home, use it as a traditional garage, or treat it as a bonus family room. The lush back lawn is accentuated by three fruit trees including two mandarin orange trees and a lemon tree. Other features of this home include a freshly painted interior, ample attic space, two sheds on concrete slab offering additional storage space, and a view of the CSULB pyramid. The Los Altos neighborhood is in an award-winning school district and is centrally located between shopping, restaurants, parks, freeways, and the ocean.
