Two homes on one lot in the historic Bluff Heights neighborhood of Long Beach: a charming 1918 Craftsman bungalow plus a fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath ADU with its own address and private entrance. Live in one and rent the other for income, host guests in comfort, set up a home office or studio, or rent both. Owned solar, 5 off-street parking spaces and a gated driveway complete this rare cottage-plus-ADU property.

FRONT HOUSE: A deep covered front porch opens to hardwood floors, a box-beam ceiling, plantation shutters and central air. The dining room features a built-in window seat and vintage brass light fixture. The updated kitchen offers quartz counters, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a sunny breakfast nook, indoor laundry and a pantry with a second sink behind the original swinging door. Three bedrooms with crystal doorknobs and classic five-panel doors share a vintage bathroom with the original seafoam tub and built-in vanity. Out back, a private patio framed by a tall palm and herb garden beds is ready for morning coffee or evening dinners outdoors.

ADU / BACK HOUSE: The attached accessory dwelling unit has no interior connection to the main house, making it fully independent. The split floor plan includes an oversized primary suite with walk-in closet and walk-in shower, a second bedroom and bath, and an open great room with French doors. The kitchen features quartz counters, shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. Ductless mini-split A/C, in-unit laundry, a private turf yard and dedicated gated parking off the alley.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: Approximately 2,478 total sq ft on a 6,503 sq ft lot. Owned (not leased) solar keeps energy costs low for both homes. Long gated driveway, detached vintage garage for parking, storage or a workshop, and 5 total parking spaces, a rare find in Bluff Heights. No HOA.

LOCATION: Close to the vintage shops, coffee houses and restaurants of Retro Row on 4th Street, minutes to Bluff Park, the beach and bike path, and a short drive to 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, Downtown Long Beach and the 405 and 710 freeways.

Long Beach Craftsman home with ADU, rental income potential and owned solar. A cottage-plus-ADU like this doesn’t come around often.
