Property Description

A rare opportunity to own an exceptional, architecturally significant mid-century residence attributed to renowned Long Beach designer Paul Tay, celebrated for his dramatic rooflines, voluminous interiors, organic integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, and meticulous attention to proportion and light. This beautifully updated home captures the spirit of Tay’s most iconic work while offering a refined, modern living experience. A terrazzo-clad entry flows into an expansive living room defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, a sculptural raised-hearth fireplace, and signature floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the lush, private backyard. True to Paul Tay’s residential aesthetic, the home features clean horizontal lines, warm natural materials, and a seamless visual connection between every interior space and the surrounding landscape. The newly remodeled kitchen is a contemporary showpiece, center island, sleek cabinetry, breakfast nook, and effortless flow into an inviting family room with sliders to the covered patio. The adjacent formal dining room is wrapped in natural wood finishes and opens to an intimate side courtyard, a hallmark of Tay’s affinity for protected outdoor vignettes. Two downstairs bedrooms accompany two beautifully remodeled bathrooms, including an oversized downstairs primary, along with a convenient laundry area that can be converted back into a third bedroom if required. Upstairs, the redesigned primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, an entire wall of closets, a tranquil viewing balcony, and an elegantly redone bathroom featuring a separate soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual closets, and spacious built-in vanities. The home’s wraparound yard is both dramatic and serene, offering mature landscaping, new custom plantings, and multiple areas for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Additional recent improvements include a newer concrete tile roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new flooring throughout the first level with plush new carpet upstairs. An oversized two-car garage and sweeping driveway complete the property. Set on an interior tract in the highly coveted Park Estates, this custom Paul Tay residence blends architectural pedigree with thoughtful modern upgrades, creating a one-of-a-kind home for those who appreciate timeless mid-century design elevated for today’s lifestyle.
