Situated in a beautiful, tucked away eastside Long Beach neighborhood between Heartwell and Wardlow Park, 5134 E. Brockwood is a lovely property that has been updated throughout, while maintaining its vintage charm and a mostly original floor plan. A combination of gleaming original oak hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint, and natural and recessed lighting, makes the home bright and inviting. The living room features the original wood-burning fireplace and a wonderful picture window looking out on the neighborhood, with an adjacent dining area. What is truly special about the property is the nearly 500 sq. ft. sun-filled family-room addition featuring impressive wood-beamed vaulted ceilings, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a new ductless mini-split-air conditioner/heating system, and two-sets of sliding glass doors leading to the private rear yard. The charming kitchen has been recently updated with quartz countertops, new granite composite single-bowl sink with a brushed nickel faucet, new stainless dishwasher, range, and microwave, recessed lighting, new vinyl floors, and refinished maple cabinets with soft-close doors. The bathroom offers quartz counters, porcelain sink, brushed nickel fixtures, newer cabinetry, tile tub surround, and recessed lighting. The front yard has newly installed drought-tolerant landscaping, with a driveway that extends to the 2-car garage offering plenty of parking. The rear yard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining with a patio for outdoor dining, shady trees, and mature, low maintenance, drought-tolerant landscaping, featuring a unique succulent wall-garden. The exterior of the home has been refreshed with new stucco and paint, and a stunning front door with updated porch light and address plaque. Other highlights include Anderson vinyl windows, new light switches/outlets, new door hardware throughout, custom bedroom closet interiors, and convenient inside laundry. Located near parks, shopping and restaurants including Parkview Village, Viking way, and the new LBX, and close to award-winning schools, LBCC and much more!
