Welcome to 3266 Maine Ave in Long Beach, a truly special home being offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased brand new by the original owner in 1944. This is a rare once in a generation opportunity to own a home with history, character, and a… Read More story that is almost impossible to duplicate. Lovingly cared for, always owner occupied, and never used as a rental, this home has been maintained with pride for generations.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is clear. The red brick exterior, classic curb appeal, and decorative wishing well in the front yard give the property a warm, timeless presence. Inside, the home offers a rare blend of originality, character, and functionality. Many of the classic touches remain, including vintage flooring, carpet, kitchen finishes, and bathrooms that reflect the era of the home while still being well maintained and functional.
One of the standout features is the large added master bedroom, complete with its own fireplace and spacious bathroom, creating a private retreat rarely found in homes of this age. The property also features an oversized two car garage with finished walls, finished ceiling, and attic storage, offering excellent parking, storage, workshop space, or future possibilities.
The backyard is another major highlight. The owner built a beautiful game room with classy woodwork inside, creating a warm and inviting space for entertaining, watching games, hosting family, or enjoying a peaceful private retreat. This room also features a vintage wood burning stove, giving it a cozy cabin like feel. This bonus structure offers incredible flexibility and may also present future ADU, studio, or rental income potential.
There is also an extra detached room in the backyard with multiple windows and electricity. It is currently being used for storage, but over the years has been used as a quiet bedroom and kids play room, adding even more usable potential. The property also offers beautiful outdoor character with producing orange, lemon, apple, and avocado trees.
Located in the North Wrigley area of Long Beach, this home offers convenient access to the 405 and 710 freeways, local parks, shops, restaurants, Downtown Long Beach, the Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Arena, Shoreline Village, Pine Avenue, and the Queen Mary.
This is more than just a home. It is a rare opportunity to purchase a property with history, pride of ownership, charm, and incredible potential. Read Less
