7 Southern Oaks Lane You MUST see this immaculately maintained, one-owner custom home tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood just off Beatline Road in Long Beach! French Country influence, handsome brickwork, beautiful landscaping and side-entry garages create a distinctive first impression, while the interior reveals the quality craftsmanship and thoughtful details that make this home truly special. Inside, 11 and 15 foot ceilings, REAL hardwood floors, brick paver flooring, substantial millwork and abundant windows give the home warmth and character. The spacious living and dining areas offer an easy flow for entertaining, with a gas fireplace and a wonderful wall of windows bringing in natural light. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, breakfast and keeping-room area. A center island, custom wood cabinetry and granite countertops complement the beautiful brick floors, while the adjoining keeping room anchors the dramatic cathedral ceiling and windows overlooking the lush backyard. It is a comfortable, inviting space designed for everyday living and gathering with family and friends. The spacious primary suite enjoys private access to the covered rear porch and includes an en suite bath with double vanities, separate soaking tub and shower, private water closet and walk-in closet. An additional main-level bedroom which is currently used as an office, boasts ornate crown molding which accents the 8' tall arched window. Two additional bedrooms share a connecting bath. A half bath and a large, fully equipped laundry room with extensive cabinetry and storage add even more functionality. Upstairs, a bonus room offers exceptional flexibility with enough space for additional sleeping accommodations, a media or game room, or home gym. The over-sized two -car garage also has a separate workshop. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A deep covered rear porch opens to an expansive brick-paver patio and a beautifully maintained, fenced backyard with mature trees and plenty of room for a future pool. Custom quality built, meticulously cared for and offered by its original owner, this is a home that stands apart for its quality, character and timeless design. Add the desirable Long Beach School District, high elevation and no flood insurance required, and this exceptional property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find.
