Two side by side properties are for sale by the same owner. One, a single family, two bedroom home; the other a three unit 1920's Craftsman, set up and running as short term furnished vacation rentals. These properties have been in the possession of the same family for the last 91 years. Both properties as a single purchase could be the perfect live work opportunity for the right person, couple, or family. However, we invite offers on each property independent of the other. This is a lovely 1939, two bedroom, 1 bath, single family home of modern design. Sitting twelve steps above street level with a generous setback under shade trees, the front of the home has an Art Deco quality. The port hole entrance door, the curves of the house and patio with its iron work, all contribute to the home's distinctive presence.It is a very solid stucco house on one level with the exception of a very small office over the garage. Plumbing and electrical have been upgraded. It's rooms are due for redecoration, which we sensibly leave up to the buyer. This is a good find, a rare and unusual, architect built, one of a kind single family house. Originally constructed in West Los Angeles, under the path of the Santa Monica Fwy, the seller's Grandparents moved it to San Pedro in 1957, to rescue it from demolition. Also moved with it was the two car garage, with it's small office above. In the living room there is a wood burning fireplace. It's chimney was constructed with steel reinforced cast concrete, bolted to the house with steel supports. This was the architects response to the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. At the time this house was moved, it was the only house on record to have ever been transported in California, with it's chimney remaining attached and arriving intact after the journey. The living room also boasts a modern wrap around, corner window with a horizontal span of 9 feet and 3 feet, and a sill of 17 inches. Off the living room there is a large sunroom of floor to ceiling glass with it's own gas fired stove.The small galley kitchen is equipped with a Thermador Professional range and Sub-Zero integrated refrigeration. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, and adjacent to the kitchen is a generous laundry room with front loading washer and dryer. The main bathroom includes a large sunken tub and a separate stall shower with multiple heads and built in teak bench. The wash basin is a single glass vessel set on a granite counter.In the back yard there is a generous wood deck with a fiberglass spa set into it. It is an older unit but functions well. Next to the deck sits an Asian inspired gazebo, built by the current owner many years ago as a meditation space.
