Introducing 274 Saint Joseph Ave, a remarkably preserved Spanish Colonial Revival perched at the top of the hill in the coveted Estates section of Belmont Heights. Arguably one of the best locations in all of Long Beach on an oversized corner lot, this rare masterpiece was constructed in 1930 by John C. Davidson and the highly regarded architectural duo of Dedrick & Bobbe. Enter the two story tower through an impressive vestibule that leads to the dramatic foyer decorated in superior Malibu tile. Grand archways highlight the romantic details of the generous living spaces, and showcase the intricate details of lath & plaster tray ceilings. Quintessential Spanish elements of exposed wood beams, wrought iron accents and brass hardware invite you from room to room. The Great room inspires with a hand painted vaulted ceiling, symmetrical casement windows and French doors leading to a private outdoor arena. Built to impress, the intelligent layout transcends time and creates efficiency in every space. Vintage bathrooms with original Art Deco tile feature rare color combinations and accompany every bedroom. Embrace the natural sunlight and ocean breezes while peeking at water views from the balcony and upstairs terrace off the master bedroom. The unique property orientation maximizes all outdoor living spaces with a massive courtyard and endless possibilities. One of the neighborhood’s finest residences, this extraordinary opportunity is just moments from trendy restaurants, shopping and the beach.
