How Much to Live in a Long Beach Home Centered Around a Pool?

  • October 23, 2009

by Mark Wellborn

In our weekly departure from DC-related real estate fare, we bring back the popular price-guessing game for homes in other parts of the country. This week, we head 45 minutes south of Los Angeles to Long Beach and look at a three-bedroom single-level home with a pool.

image

The defining characteristic of this home is the pool, which is uniquely designed in the center of the property and features an island with a Bonsai-shaped pine. The house itself measures out at almost 1,400 square feet and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are seven skylights throughout the property, a large living room wired for surround sound, and a one-car garage. The cool thing about the rooms in the home is that every one has sliding exterior doors that lead out to the property’s main attraction: the pool.

If you have a guess on the asking price for this home, just post it in the comments section below. We will reveal it next week.

    Circa 610 if its in most areas of LBC and if its in the belmont shore area, I’d go up to 750.
