3033 E Vista St, Long Beach, CA 90803

Welcome to 3033 E Vista Street, Long Beach — a beautifully renovated California Craftsman Bungalow where timeless character meets modern luxury. Located in the heart of Historic Bluff Heights, this expanded 1917 Craftsman blends original period details with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. A recent 8-month renovation added 249 square feet, creating a stunning new kitchen, a serene primary suite with ensuite bath, a custom laundry area, and a walk-in pantry—bringing the home to approximately 1,400 square feet. Original oak hardwood floors, wood-framed windows, and rich built-ins remain intact, preserving the home's warmth and authenticity. The focal point of the formal dining room is the original Craftsman buffet, a striking reminder of the home’s 100+ year history. Other original features include built-ins adding both charm and functionality. You enter the home through a custom extra-wide oak front door, and are welcomed by a spacious front porch. The chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, matched crown molding, and premium appliances including a new stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and wine fridge. The ensuite primary bathroom mirrors this high-end style with quartz counters, tile floors, shaker cabinetry, and a French drain shower design. Modern upgrades include new central HVAC with EcoBee thermostat, smart switches, a tankless water heater, and fully updated electrical—including removal of knob-and-tube wiring and the addition of 220V power to the garage, ready for EV charging. The renovation also introduced a built-in mudroom and optimized the layout for everyday living. Outside, the oversized 7,502 sq ft lot, offers tremendous potential for an ADU. The backyard includes mature citrus trees—two orange, one lemon, and one lime—plus low-maintenance turf and a custom TREX deck with built-in wet bar, sink, and beverage cooler for entertaining. The oversized garage and extra-long driveway allow for ample off-street parking, with a rear swinging gate providing alley access. Ideally located just minutes from the beach, bike paths, Retro Row, Broadway, Belmont Shore, and the best dining and shopping in Long Beach, this home offers a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of the city’s most charming historic districts. True pride of ownership shows in so many ways. You truly have to see this home to believe it. Welcome home.
