Midcentury Long Beach Palmer & Krisel Home For Sale – Long Beach, CA

Fresh off a bank-ownership and mediocre flipper stint is this 1955 Long Beach Palmer & Krisel-designed home in need of a little infusion of midcentury modern. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,200 square feet, this home includes a detached two-car garage and sits on a 6,100 square-foot lot and carries a low asking price of only $475,000.

Front of home

Selling recently for $360,200, this home has undergone a quick and mediocre flip and fix which removed a large non-permitted structure at the rear of the home, placed new countertops in the kitchen, and added a fresh coat of paint throughout the home.

The front exterior of the home has seen a layer of chunky lace stucco added to it, along with a theme of fan-lights in the front and garage doors. The front yard is blank slate, unresolved by the current owner who only added a few new plants to the front planters. A patchy lawn sits between the sidewalk and front door, and the absence of trees makes the exterior appear barren and sparse.

Living room 

Living room 

Inside the home, the living room and kitchen sit at the rear of the home, while the dining room sits towards the front along with the master, which is split from the secondary bedrooms. The living room is anchored by a clean-lined brick veneered fireplace, and overlooks the backyard through a large sliding glass back door.

Kitchen and laundry

Kitchen 

Kitchen 

Dining room 

The kitchen is adjacent to the living room, and features older, non-original cabinetry that has been freshly painted white. Sleek new grey counters, which go great with the home but look odd on the older cabinetry have been added, and stainless steel appliances (sans fridge) have been added. The dining room sits adjacent and open to the kitchen, and is elevated about four inches above the rest of the home for some reason.

Guest bath

The master bedroom sits off the front entry, features vaulted ceilings and a small, updated bath with white on white fixtures and surrounds. The remaining two bedrooms sit split form the master on the east side of the home, and they, like the master, are simple diminutive-sized rooms. The guest bath has had the same update as the master bath, and like the rest of the home, could use a little color or an infusion of midcentury mod inspiration.

Backyard

Backyard & back of home

The backyard contains a large concrete slab at the center of the yard. A patchy lawn and a few older plantings surround the yard area, and like the front yard, the backyard is a prime candidate for a clean and modern water-conserving makeover.

For those looking for a little project who don’t putting the modern back into this midcentury abode, look no further than this north Long Beach Palmer & Krisel home.
