First time on the market is this stunning, remodeled and highly upgraded College Park Estates single family home. College Park Estates, built by S & S Construction, has stood the test of time, as one of the most highly regarded single family communities in East Long Beach. Situated on a quiet interior Cul-d-Sac street, 865 N. Karen Way features a stunning 3 Bedroom, 1-3/4 Bath single story home on a nearly 6200 square foot, lusciously landscaped lot. The kitchen has been totally remodeled with new cabinets, marble counters, hardware, an included stainless steel refrigerator, plus gas range/oven, dishwasher and microwave oven. The main bathroom has also been totally remodeled with new cabinets, marble counter, and to top it off, a Restoration-type tub with shower. The bath off of the 3rd. bedroom has also been remodeled with all newer appointments, plus a large walk-in shower. The 3rd. bedroom can easily be utilized as an office or study. Windows and doors have been upgraded with high quality dual pane windows, plantation shutters, and a sliding door off of the third bedroom. There is crown molding throughout, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan in the master, plus recently installed high quality laminate floors throughout. A new upgraded electrical panel has been installed to easily handle all of the electrical upgrades. The rear yard is absolutely gorgeously landscaped with a combination of mature trees and lush, well-manicured shrubs and lawn, surrounding the covered patio. The large 2-car garage has had a new concrete floor poured, and also the large sweeping driveway with some extra space for a small RV or boat. Of course College Park Estates is very convenient to Cal State Long Beach and is only a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, Alamitos Bay, Belmont Shore and the new major mall at the corner of PCH and Westminster Ave. Also convenient, but not too close, are 405, 605 and 22 freeways. This wonderful home has been in possession of the original family since new and is now turnkey ready for a new owner to share in years of enjoyment.
