A 1954 Home in Long Beach, California

Hidden within the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach,
California, sits a 1954 mid-century ranch with a mostly brick
exterior, separated only by some paneling and a small window.
However, the impeccable landscaping in front of the home
offers a telling clue to the lush greenery and playful style that
lies beyond the home’s understated exterior.
Elijah and Johnna bought the 3,000-square-foot, fourbedroom,
three-bath home in 2019. After purchasing the
home, the couple began renovating it to better fit their family’s
needs while still keeping much of the home’s original “bones”
intact-including the variety of wood types the original
architects used.
“There are like 10 different kinds of woods happening,”
Johnna says. “We tried to play off of it and really work with it.”

Beautiful. I would have liked to see it before their renovation of paint.

this home is perfect balance of fun and elegance.

Very nice, warm MCM home. I'd say it has more of a '60s vibe than a '70s vibe.

Literal dream house.

How cool was that!

This couple are serial house buyers/sellers. They buy and sell their house every two years. First it was a Cliff May, then a Paul Tay and now this house. They sold this house early this year..

@@bruintoo he talked about it as a forever home? Lol

If you have a home as your address for something like 2 years then you pay lower taxes. Knew people that would have the wife change her address to their flips while it was being flipped and then resell for with lower taxes.

That double handgun vase is a huge red flag about these people 👎
