Property Description
Behold a living canvas of architectural artistry: Pleasant View Manor, c. 1901, stands as an edifice where history, craftsmanship, and grandeur converge. At approximately 4,104 ft² (3,173 ft² + third floor and wine cellar basement), it unfolds across 18 commanding rooms, including 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, three master suites, two full kitchens, a grand living room adjoined by an elegant parlor/family room, and a dining room crowned with its original built-in buffet. Rich with light, the house boasts 78 windows framed by 48 doors, each a portal to another story.
Originally conceived by developer Charles E. Espey and his bride Olive L. Benton, this home was later transformed in c. 1918 by prominent architect Harvey H. Lochridge, nearly doubling its footprint—each wall, beam, and truss testament to eras layered in time. In 2004, its present owners undertook a three year long complete restoration—new electrical systems, copper plumbing throughout, upgraded HVAC for each level, seismic retrofitting, EV-ready garage—so that history and modernity dance in perfect harmony.
Designated both a City of Long Beach & County of Los Angeles Historic Landmark, Pleasant View Manor participates in the LA County Mills Act Program—an annual property tax savings (approx 50% reduction) that rewards stewardship of heritage. Yet this isn't merely a relic—it is alive, poised just a gentle stroll from the beach, boutiques, cafés, 4th Street Retro Row, and The Art Theatre. Located in Historic Bluff Heights, it's where Pacific breezes meet small-town charm, and where Los Angeles and Orange County live in conversation. Pleasant View Manor is not just a home—it is a curated experience, an enduring work of architectural art. A chance to own more than square footage: to own a story.
