Property Description
The exclusive historic Villa Riviera is an iconic residential high rise on the water’s edge in the City of Long Beach. This rarely offered 2 Bed, 2 Bath, 1168 Sq ft. double corner unit offers a 180 degree sweeping vista from the San Gabriel and Saddleback Mountains, Downtown LA, Signal Hill, to the blue of the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful original hardwood floors, plaster walls & coved ceilings. Both bathrooms have the original stunning deco tile, pedestal sinks, and Sloan commodes that complete the nostalgic charm. The warm galley kitchen is efficiently designed including hardwood floors, loads of cabinets, and granite counters. The dining nook boasts original built-in cabinets to display your dining china etc. Plenty of closets including two walk-ins and a formal coat closet in the entry. The second bedroom has a separate, numbered entrance and one could have it as a separate unit with little effort.
As a significant benefit, the HOA fees cover literally ALL UTILITIES: gas, electricity, hot water, heat, cable TV, and internet. After basic services typical for associations, the HOA takes care of all the necessities for which one would normally pay separately. The monthly costs of these utilities could be valued at $300-$500 depending on usage, unit size etc.
The community offers a Grand Ballroom with a kitchen for catering, an incredible deck overlooking the ocean, BBQ facilities, and a guest suite for overnight guests (for a small fee). The building sits in the heart of a vibrant downtown, with 7 miles of walking, running and bike path out your door. Many events, shops, theaters and restaurants are all within walking distance: the Aquarium of the Pacific, Terrace Theater / Performing Arts Center, East Village Arts District, etc. The Villa Riviera is a French Chateau style 1928 architecturally award-winning landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, featuring a patina copper roof ornamented with distinctive gargoyles. Owners enjoy reduced property taxes under a Mills Act contract with the City. The Villa Riviera has parking, both indoors and outdoors, leased to residents at a monthly fee. Ask agent for details.
