This historically significant home and guesthouse is located just a half block from the ocean in desirable Bluff Park. Built in 1913 by famed Long Beach architects, Austin & Lochridge, the home is in the rare Prairie Style design popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright. Once home to California's 28th governor, Frank F. Merriam, it remained in his family for over 80 years. Today, this executive home, retains its original charm, but has been handsomely restored and updated with many modern conveniences. The main house is 2,894 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms and 4-1/2 baths. Hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, and a crystal chandelier showcase the original charisma of a bygone era. Modern amenities such as a remodeled kitchen w/premium appliances, remodeled bathrooms, generous closets w/custom cabinetry, a master suite w/dressing area, a master bath w/soaking tub & separate shower, a whole house water filtration system, a Sonos sound system throughout, fully paid solar, and central A/C make for refined living. The delightful rear patio has a private home office w/custom cabinetry that houses a beverage refrigerator and ice maker. There is also a separate storage room with plenty of custom cabinets. Over the garage is a luxurious 747 sq. ft. 1-bed and 1-bath legal guesthouse that could fetch potential income of $2,300/mo. Owners have spent $200K in upgrades in the last year. This home is truly turn-key and a must see!
