Wake up to breathtaking, panoramic ocean views from every room in this 14th-floor oversized 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence, spanning approximately 841sq. ft. in the iconic Villa Riviera—one of Long Beach’s most treasured architectural gems. This upper-floor unit boasts soaring nearly 10-foot coved ceilings, a rare feature reserved only for the top levels, enhancing the sense of grandeur and sophistication. Inside, timeless elegance meets modern refinement. Rich wood floors stretch seamlessly through the main living spaces, while the bathroom preserves its original artisan tile work, an intricate detail that honors the building’s storied past. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a coveted gas cooktop—a luxurious perk seldom found in high-rise living. Beyond its stunning design, this home presents exceptional financial advantages. The Villa Riviera qualifies for the MILLS ACT, drastically reducing property taxes, providing substantial long-term savings.
