About this home

Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood- a rarely seen Clifton Jones Jr. designed modernist garden home. Known as Cerritos Circle, the architect's distinguished tract of mid-century modern post and beam style homes were developed in the early 1960s on land that once served as pasture and training facilities for the family's thoroughbred racehorses. Offered here is the Edward Killingsworth inspired D plan model, featuring a dramatic 17' tall living/dining area, a sculptural spiral staircase, and floor to ceiling walls of glass at east and west facings. The property shares more similarity with a custom single family residence than it does with a typical townhome; with 2 bedrooms / 2.5 baths, spacious open plan, expansive back patio, and direct access to an attached two car garage. Privacy between units was a primary consideration in the architect's design. Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood: with tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, adjacent Dominguez Gap Wetlands + nearby shopping, restaurants, and breweries of Bixby Knolls. Central location with easy freeway access for commutes to both Los Angeles and Orange County, and less than 1.5 miles from a metro station.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1963, making it over 60 years old. While the home maintains its distinctive mid-century modern architectural style and appears well-maintained, the visible updates in the bathrooms (speckled granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and standard white tile in the shower/tub) suggest a renovation that occurred approximately 15-30 years ago, rather than a recent one. The flooring throughout the main living areas also appears to be an older style of tile. No kitchen images were provided, but based on the bathroom conditions, it's unlikely to be newly renovated. The property is functional and clean, but the finishes and fixtures show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Architectural Pedigree & Design: A distinguished Clifton Jones Jr. designed modernist garden home, featuring mid-century modern post and beam style, Edward Killingsworth inspiration, and unique elements like a sculptural spiral staircase.
Highly Desirable Neighborhood: Located in Long Beach's sought-after Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood, known for tree-lined streets, historic homes, an excellent school district, and proximity to amenities like Bixby Knolls.
Distinctive Interior Features: Boasts a dramatic 17' tall living/dining area and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, creating an open, light-filled, and visually striking living environment.
Exceptional Accessibility: Offers a central location with easy freeway access for commutes to both Los Angeles and Orange County, and is conveniently less than 1.5 miles from a metro station.
Enhanced Privacy & Outdoor Living: Architecturally designed with privacy between units in mind, featuring an expansive back patio and direct access to an attached two-car garage, providing a blend of indoor-outdoor living and convenience.

Cons

Townhome Ownership Limitations: Despite its single-family residence feel, the property is a townhome, which typically involves HOA fees, shared walls, and potential restrictions, differing from full detached home ownership.
Absence of Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers seeking scenic vistas in a desirable Long Beach location.
Potential for Age-Related System Updates: Built in 1963, the property may require updates to major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) to meet modern efficiency standards or address potential maintenance needs associated with its age, as no recent system upgrades are mentioned.
