A First Look

From the gate, then inside. Then up to the deck.

The walk: agapanthus and brick at the curb, high-ceilinged rooms on hardwood, a kitchen lit through a vaulted skylight, a private suite above the garage, and a rooftop deck the size of a backyard.

Front elevation of 236 Belmont Ave centered between wrought-iron gates, with topiary, purple agapanthus blooms, and an arched teal-trimmed entry under a blue sky — From the street. The wrought-iron gates open onto a brick courtyard and a teal-trimmed arched entry.

A brick-paver driveway curving toward the home, lined with planted beds, leading to a brick-arched portico and tall arched windows trimmed in teal — The motor court. A circular brick paver approach.

A close-up of the front entry: a brick arch over a teal double door with oval inset glass, a small lantern sconce to the side, brick steps below — The door, in close. Brick arch over a teal double door with oval glass.

Sidewalk-angle view of the front of 236 Belmont Ave with mature gardens of agapanthus and small palms running along the street, the home framed on its corner of Belmont Avenue — Belmont Avenue, walking up. The block opens around the house.

Side-angle view of the residence dense with purple agapanthus in bloom along the property line, with topiary and an arched second-story window catching afternoon light — The side line, in bloom. Agapanthus runs the length of the property.

The main house living room, a white-walled high-ceilinged volume with refinished hardwood floors, a carved wood-mantel fireplace lit with a gas flame, plantation shutters on tall doors flanking the mantel, and a tall arched plantation-shuttered window over a built-in upholstered window seat — Through the front door. A high-ceilinged living room with a wood-mantel fireplace and a window seat under the arched window.

The kitchen of the main house, a vaulted-ceiling room with a pyramidal skylight at the peak, two islands in oak cabinetry with tile counters, plantation-shuttered bay windows along the back wall, and a chandelier over the eat-in dining area beyond — The kitchen. Vaulted ceiling, pyramidal skylight, two islands, bay windows along the back.

The family room of the main house, a wall of oak built-in cabinetry framing a tiled fireplace lit with a gas flame, a ceiling fan overhead, plantation-shuttered French doors to the side, all on refinished oak hardwood — The family room. A wall of oak built-ins framing a tiled fireplace.

The upper guest unit above the four-car garage, an open studio-style great room and kitchenette with new wide-plank flooring, two windows looking onto the street, a small kitchen with a gas range, oak cabinetry and an overhead bin rack — Above the garage. The separate two-bedroom unit lives open: a great room and small kitchen, its own front door, its own street.

The primary bath, a stone-tiled room with an oval soaking tub on a stepped platform under a chandelier, framed by a wall of mirror, two vanities flanking the tub, glass-block windows, and a separate glass-walled shower beyond — The primary bath. An oval soaking tub on stepped stone under a small chandelier.

The rooftop deck above the upper guest unit, a wide flat teal-painted deck wrapping around a small mechanical hutch and a service door, low stucco walls along the perimeter, palms and Belmont Heights rooftops visible beyond, a wide flat blue Long Beach sky overhead — The rooftop, full width. Palms, neighbor rooftops, the Long Beach sky. Three blocks to the bay.

“Above the four-car garage sits a private two-bedroom, two-bath retreat with its own separate entrance, and access to a rooftop deck for Long Beach evenings.”

The Residence

Built to live more than one way.

This is one of Belmont Heights' most desirable streets, and one of its more unusual properties. Approximately 3,778 square feet of versatile living across two distinct quarters: a main residence of roughly 2,750 square feet, and a private upper unit above the four-car garage with its own entrance, two bedrooms, two baths, and a rooftop deck.

The main house lives generously. The listing notes high ceilings and oversized rooms, refinished hardwood floors throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, and abundant natural light. The primary suite is described as impressive, with an oversized bedroom, a luxurious bath, and a generous walk-in closet. Originally redeveloped in the 1980s, the residence blends modern scale with timeless character.

Outside, new landscaping refreshes the curb appeal: topiary, brick paver paths, and a curtain of agapanthus along the property line. Three blocks lift you to 2nd Street and a short walk drops you toward the bay. This is coastal Long Beach as it lives, every day.

The Neighborhood

Belmont Heights, as it lives.

Belmont Heights is one of Long Beach's most loved coastal neighborhoods. Tree-lined streets, Craftsman and Spanish bungalows, and a daily current that bends toward 2nd Street, the bluffs, and the bay. 236 Belmont sits on one of its most desirable blocks.

Walk a few minutes east for the dining and shopping of 2nd Street and Belmont Shore. Drop south toward Bluff Park, the beach path, and the water. Coastal Long Beach as a daily condition, not a weekend visit.
