Set in a 6.5-acre gated community overlooking the Virginia Country Club golf course, this c.1969 Modernist ranch exemplifies the booming economy and optimistic suburban style of mid-century Long Beach, where, adjacent to Los Angeles, the intertwined defense and aerospace industries, along with oil and a vast naval base, were the engines of prosperity.
At a time when what you lived in could carry political weight—prosperous educated liberals might live in radical Modernist dwellings while prosperous conservatives skewed to Monterey Colonials—this home meets in the middle with walls of glass, classic board-and-batten siding and exposed beams under broad low-pitched roofs. The 4-bed, 3.5-bath home has been extensively and sensitively remodeled, bringing mid-century Southern California well into the 21st Century.
