There's something about 1037 N Almond Ct that just feels right. Tucked on a quiet street at the edge of Craftsman Village, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends the warmth and character you fall in love with in a craftsman with the everyday ease of a home that's been beautifully cared for.
Original hardwood floors run through the living and dining rooms, holding onto the soul of the home while everything around them feels fresh and new. The updated kitchen is bright and easy to be in, with quartz counters that catch the light, a new sink, and updated cabinets. The fully renovated bathroom feels like a quiet retreat, with new tile, vanity, flooring, and mirror, and updated plumbing behind the walls. A versatile bonus room offers the kind of flexibility every buyer is looking for, perfect as a nursery, home office, or quiet creative space. Fresh paint carries through every room, with new flooring in the bedrooms and hallway and recessed lighting that glows warm in the evenings. Underneath all the character, the bones are solid. A 200-amp electrical panel upgrade, updated wiring, new main line, new wall heater, and a completed foundation earthquake retrofit mean the big stuff is already handled. Out back, a new gate and fence create a private little world of your own on a manageable 3,312 sqft lot, just right for low-maintenance outdoor living. Four off-street parking spots in the driveway are a rare and welcome bonus in this part of town. At 1,224 sqft, this home lives bigger than most in the neighborhood and offers exactly what today's buyer is looking for: classic craftsman bones with modern, move-in-ready updates. Just minutes from Retro Row, 4th Street, and the best of central Long Beach dining and culture.
