On acreage that had previously been home to pasture and training facilities for his family's thoroughbred racehorses, architect Clifton Jones Jr. developed this tract of distinguished garden home duplexes. Named Cerritos Circle, the architect's modernist post and beam designs were clearly influenced by the work of Edward Killingsworth, the case study program, and his studies at the USC School of Architecture. Privacy in addition to a seamless connection between indoors and out is achieved by way of floor to ceiling glass walls directed at central courtyards for each residence. Situated on a more than 7,576 sf lot, with each unit having its own expansive outdoor patio and yard. This combined with well planned layouts make the two 1,200+ sf homes feel much larger than their measure. As side by side units, each has the feeling of being its own single family home. They were designed in such a way that owners could live in one and rent out the other, with privacy between units having been a primary consideration in the design. Both feature 2 bedrooms / 1.5 baths, well organized island kitchens, and spacious open plan living/dining areas. Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood: with tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, adjacent Dominguez Gap Wetlands + nearby shopping, restaurants, and breweries of Bixby Knolls (Nonna Mercato, Sushi Nikkei, Taboon, Sala, Ambitious Ales, Hiro Nori, The Merchant and many more). Central location with easy freeway access for commutes to both Los Angeles and Orange County, and less than 1.5 miles from a metro station.
