Property Detail

Description

On acreage that had previously been home to pasture and training facilities for his family's thoroughbred racehorses, architect Clifton Jones Jr. developed a tract of distinguished garden home duplexes. Named Cerritos Circle, its modernist post and beam designs display the influences of his studies at the USC School of Architecture. Privacy in addition to a seamless connection between indoors and out is achieved by way of floor to ceiling glass walls directed at central courtyards for each residence. Situated on a more than 8,501 sf lot, with each unit having its own private patio and outdoor area. This combined with well planned layouts make the two 1,200+ sf homes feel much larger than their measure. As side by side units, each has the feeling of being its own single family home. They were designed in such a way that owners could live in one and rent out the other, with privacy between units having been a primary consideration in the design. Both feature 2 bedrooms / 1.5 baths, well organized island kitchens, and spacious open plan living/dining areas. 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.
