Property 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 clearly display the influences of his studies at the USC School of Architecture. Offered here is the Plan D model, with both residences featuring dramatic double-height living/dining areas, sculptural spiral staircases, floor to ceiling walls of glass at east and west facings, and each unit having its own private patio and outdoor area. 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 / 2.5 baths, well organized open plan kitchens, and spacious 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.
