2815 E 5th St,

Imagine waking up just blocks from the beach, where fresh ocean breezes drift through the neighborhood. Step into a 1914 Craftsman infused with warmth and beautiful energy — a place where love, laughter, and unforgettable meals have been shared with family and friends. Inside, timeless character meets modern convenience: original crown moldings, rich wood floors, and a chef’s kitchen with professional GE Monogram appliances. High-BTU burners and double ovens inspire culinary creativity, whether preparing intimate dinners or hosting lively gatherings that fill the home with joy.

Outside, your private sanctuary awaits. Bamboo frames the yard with natural privacy, a Buddha fountain offers a calming backdrop for yoga or meditation, and fruit trees — Meyer lemon, mandarin, and passion fruit — invite you to harvest fresh ingredients for meals or cocktails. As twilight falls, string lights cast a golden glow over the garden, where you can savor wine, conversation, and tranquility in your own hidden retreat. Tandem parking for up to five cars adds rare practicality in this sought-after neighborhood.

Beyond your doorstep lies the vibrant Retro Row, celebrated for its diversity, creativity, and authenticity. More than 40 independent shops and restaurants line this lively district — vintage boutiques, mid-century furniture stores, cozy coffee shops, wine bars, and family-owned eateries. Here, nothing is manufactured; every storefront reflects the true soul of Long Beach. Michelin-starred dining at Heritage, brunch with ocean views at Claire’s at the Museum, or yoga at sunrise on the Bluff are all just moments away. Bike 2.5 miles in either direction to Belmont Shore or Downtown for even more dining, culture, and entertainment.

Modern upgrades make life effortless: insulation in all exterior walls and attic, a three-year-old cool roof backed by a lifetime warranty, a permitted mini-split in the upstairs bedroom, and a 240V ChargePoint EV charger so you begin each day fully powered. This is more than a house — it’s California living at its finest, set within a beautifully diverse community alive with possibility, energy, and connection. Here, every sunrise feels like an invitation to start fresh, and every sunset is a reminder you are exactly where you belong.
