Clifton Jones Jr.-Designed Cerritos Circle Unit in Long Beach Listed for $1.45M

A four-bedroom house is currently listed for $1,450,000 in the Cerritos Circle neighborhood of Long Beach, California. Located at 4175/4177 Del Mar Avenue, this property is one of 42 unique post-and-beam structures designed by Clifton Jones Jr. in 1963 and was famously photographed by Julius Shulman in 1964. Covering 2,768 square feet, it features two connected apartments, each with two bedrooms and ensuite baths, along with spacious open-plan living areas that let in plenty of light. Highlights include 10-foot ceilings, sliding doors, and glass walls that open to a courtyard and a fenced patio. The land was formerly used by the Jones family for racehorse training, and the original architect's family, who have occupied it since it was built, is now selling. Nate Cold from Modern Californian House points out that the separate units function like single-family homes, perfect for an owner to live in one while renting out the other, showcasing midcentury modern design and California’s architectural history.
