Nestled in the quaint Los Cerritos neighborhood of Long Beach, the modern re-imagined home at 4319 Country Club Lane was originally designed after a home in Huntington Harbor, complete with bomb shelter, in 1970. Located on the 18th fairway of the Virginia Country Club golf course, on a private, gated drive known as “The Lane”, the original home was just over 4100 square feet. The 3 bed, 3.5 bath home was owned by the same family for nearly 48 years and designed after a dear friend’s home in the Harbor. The owner, an avid golfer, concluded there was no better place to build his dream home and enjoy the coastal breezes the area is known for each evening.
For several years, this custom built home sat vacant, and the family ultimately decided it was time to breathe new life into it, selling it to a local investor to create what is seen today. The current owner had a bold vision of how to incorporate the fantastic views and capture modern elements current buyers desire today. In order to achieve the much sought after, open-concept look, the build required three “I-Beams” to support the second story and newly erected deck. The beams collectively weighed several thousands of pounds, and obtaining permits for the build took nearly a year.
The build took over 12 months, but the end product was exactly what the investor had envisioned: views, views, and more views. A master bedroom retreat with stunning views. A second floor family room with views. A totally open-concept great room and kitchen with views. A 492 square foot deck with views. A covered patio with a built-in BBQ with views. And what about the bomb shelter? Well, the bomb shelter is now incorporated into the house and converted into a finished basement ideal for a wine cellar or media room.
This modern masterpiece is sure to impress any buyer. Listed at $2.2 million, the finished home is over 4500 square feet, with 5 bedrooms, 5 baths with a 3 car garage, professionally designed with attention to luxurious detail. The Club hosts a fantastic firework show each 4th of July, attracting thousands of spectators, but the owner of this home will have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle.
History surrounds the area, including Los Cerritos Ranch House (also known as Casa de los Cerritos) one of the largest adobe residences erected in the area in the mid 1800s. Currently a museum in operation shares the rich history of the indigenous people and landowners. Per rancholoscerritos.org, stones were discovered dating back to 2-5,000 BC. Rancho Los Cerritos was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. The Virginia Country Club was built next door to Rancho Los Cerritos in the 1920s. Through the years, many of its members actively shaped the game of golf in Southern California.
From the area’s rich history, close freeway access and all the amenities one could ask for, the new owner can live a life of luxury on The Lane. Private showings available by The Luckey Team.
