Property Description

Step into a piece of Long Beach history at 170 St. Joseph Avenue, a timeless 1928 Spanish Revival estate featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, originally built as a summer residence for an Austrian ambassador. Known as “Cresta Blanca,” this exceptional home blends old-world craftsmanship with the coastal charm of Belmont Shore living.

From the moment you arrive, the home's classic Mediterranean-inspired architecture and distinctive turreted entry create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, period details transport you to another era, including a stunning hand-painted ceiling mural inspired by the Austrian Alps, elegant archways, and rich architectural character rarely found today.

Built during Long Beach's celebrated 1920s building boom, this residence captures the romance and sophistication of Southern California's golden age while offering one of the rarest amenities in Belmont Shore — one of the only homes in the neighborhood with a private driveway. Just moments from the beach, bay, and vibrant 2nd Street dining and shopping district, the location perfectly complements the home's historic charm and exceptional convenience.

170 St. Joseph Avenue is more than a home — it is a legacy property with a story to tell. Rarely do homes with this level of history, architectural personality, coastal location, and coveted parking become available.
