Welcome to this captivating vintage and fully furnished bungalow in the heart of Longbeach Village with its large separate guest cottage and multi-family zoning. Entry to the main home is through a large wraparound screened porch complete with an old fashioned swing. The two-bedroom two bath main house is 1600 sf and charming details grace every corner, from a beautifully framed wood-burning fireplace in the living room to shiplap-adorned walls and ceilings. A tastefully appointed kitchen boasts modern amenities and a sleek gas cooktop. The dining area features a vaulted ceiling and a bay window with cozy built-in seating, providing enchanting views of the vibrant courtyard. A large separate one-bedroom guest cottage with its own entrance has over 800 sf above the garage and carport areas. The guest home features a comfortable living area, a well-equipped kitchen and laundry room, as well as a private lanai and adjoining balcony deck.

Connecting these two homes is a lush, sunny, meticulously landscaped tropical courtyard. It’s a paradise of its own, graced with a shimmering pool and spa.

Just down the street, you can savor fresh seafood and stunning bayfront vistas at either Mar Vista Dockside or Shore Restaurant, or cap off a day at the beach, and then head right across the street to Whitney’s Bodega & Bar, where you can enjoy a delightful meal. Whether you’re seeking an escape to your own paradise, hosting visiting family members, or exploring an investment opportunity, this may just be the tropical haven you’ve been searching for.
