Welcome to one of the most BREATHTAKING oceanfront residences in Long Beach?where timeless elegance meets unmatched OCEAN VIEWS from every single room. Perched on the 8th floor of the iconic Villa Riviera, this rare corner unit captures sweeping, head-on ocean vistas so striking, they feel painted just for you. With over 1,245 sq ft of refined living space, this is one of the building?s largest and most coveted floor plans?an original two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout that effortlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its rich architectural heritage. Nearly 9-foot ceilings, restored organic mahogany window trim, and oak flooring set the tone. The living room stuns with coved ceilings, while the kitchen is a true showpiece?featuring marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas range, and a rare in the building, dishwasher. Each bedroom is a private retreat, offering walk-in closets, and one even includes a custom-built bookcase and desk. The bathrooms strike the perfect balance between preservation and sophistication: one adorned with original Deco tile and pedestal sink, the other with a period-appropriate walk-in shower that feels both current and classic. But what makes this home even more extraordinary is the financial freedom it offers. This unit qualifies for the MILLS ACT, a historic designation that dramatically reduces your property taxes?providing real, lasting savings (ask for details to see for yourself). HOA dues include all utilities: electricity, gas, water, internet, and even cable?giving you a luxurious, all-inclusive lifestyle with zero hassle. The building also features a rentable Guest Suite for visitors and assigned parking (subject to availability). Located directly on the sand, Villa Riviera is more than a residence?it?s a lifestyle. Step outside to a 9-mile coastal bike path, the East Village Arts District, rooftop dining at Gaucho Beach, Shoreline Village, and a year-round calendar of waterfront events and festivals. This unit is sold mostly furnished (see exclusion list). This is your chance to own a piece of California?s coastal legacy?where history, design, and daily oceanfront living come together in one unforgettable home.
