The Fox Residence, Paul L. Williamson (1957). An extraordinarily well preserved mid-century modern post and beam home situated on a more than 11,000 square foot lot in Long Beach's Los Cerritos neighborhood. Offered for only the second time since built, its current owners have taken great care to respect the home's originality wherever updates have been made. At the street facing, a bright white rock roof and trellised entryway with red door give clues of what lies beyond. Inside, a large double sided stone fireplace lands at the apex of a beamed ceiling, providing delineation for what is an otherwise vast open plan. Obscure glass panels on each side allow light to pass between these rooms throughout the day. Honey colored Birch paneling and built-ins enrich a skylit living space, which features a wall of glass and sliding doors that face out to the expansive rear yard and pool. The roofline extends to shelter a raised patio that provides for areas of shaded dining and lounging. An island counter with wet bar and wine fridge separates the living area from the kitchen and its adjacent dining area. A sensitive remodel of the kitchen retained original cabinetry with reeded glass doors and brought in Heath tile, quartz countertops, and Bosch & Jenn-Air appliances. The spacious open plan family room/dining area features beamed ceilings and built-in display cabinets. With the adjacent 3/4 bath and hallway wardrobe closet, this more formal dining room would function well as a 4th bedroom with just the addition of one interior wall. A hallway with additional storage buffers the north bedroom wing from the rest of the home. The primary bedroom features a dramatic southest facing corner window detail that frames a view overlooking the pool and yard. The more than quarter acre lot appears even larger than its measure- with a sprawling lawn, pool, patio, and pool house all well placed on the property. Privacy hedging and the canopy of a majestic Pepper Tree make for a parklike setting. The detached pool house/studio measures approximately 200sf, and has not been included in advertised size of home. Located amongst the estate properties of the Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club area- with its tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, and an incredibly quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
