Welcome to 100 Temple, one of Long Beach’s historic estates situated in the coveted Bluff Park. Making your way through the matured landscaping and meticulous exterior of this estate stepping through the incredible arch front door, you’re taken back by the original wrought iron banister that leads the eye to the unique ceiling with hand textured finishes and chandelier that pairs with period sconces. Bearing right, you’re greeted by a spacious living room with peekaboo ocean views through arched doors that open to the ocean breeze. Adjoined to the living room, a sitting room which could be a guest room or office with its own original tile bathroom. Through the hall, you’ll find the a private media room accompanied by a guest quarters with a ¾ bathroom with period tilework any purist can appreciate. Back around to the formal dining room with preserved coved ceilings, you can’t help but wonder if there’s any detail left spared. Following the sound of flowing water coming from the period inspired fountain outside the restored Sunroom, you will be lead to the handcrafted kitchen with opulent marble countertops, cleanliness of the luxury appliances and custom cabinetry, featuring an Aga range, dual Bosch dishwashers, and Sub- zero wine refrigerator and humidor. Exiting the kitchen, you’re greeted by one of the most impressive gardens with Spanish influences accompanied by an in ground spa that doubles as a water feature for intimate and larger party settings alike. The guest house was brought to Temple in the 1940’s as an art studio, with 14ft ceilings and oversized skylight adorning the full kitchen. With a 3/4 bathroom, this space can double as a rental unit with private entry and parking, or used as originally intended for those with an artistic passion. After the gatherings subside in the backyard escape, you may wish to retire in your spacious upstairs primary bedroom featuring an oversized walk-in closet and reimagined ensuite. The marble finishes of the bathroom with period hardware and dual vanities play effortlessly into the soaking tub which is the perfect way to unwind if the spacious walk-in shower isn’t calling you. Across the hall sits a spacious bedroom with ocean views, a private bathroom, terrace and views of Catalina Island. Sprawling over an expansive 7,500 sqft lot with no expense spared, we only hope you have a chance to appreciate Temple as much as we do.
