2530 E 21st ST Signal Hill, CA 90755

Stunning mid century split level home with a truly unique design. This custom built home features clerestory windows. These soaring walls of glass gaze out toward panoramic views of downtown Long Beach, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and the ocean. The Sipprelle Residence, designed by architect Paul Tay, is architecturally significant and critically acclaimed. Praised by Southland Magazine in 1962 as "a crown upon the hillside which it stands." This house was also featured by the Society of Architectural Historians in a 2008 architectural tour of Paul Tay homes. Though completely remodeled, the home maintains the original integrity & offers a modern & tranquil Zen feel. Updated kitchen utilizes a massive single slab of Brazilian granite, Italian cabinetry & stainless steel appliances. Features include a 300 s.f. (approx.) wrap around balcony w/180 degree views; oversized 2+ car garage, 2 gas burning fireplaces; recessed lighting throughout; two 5-speaker surround sound systems for LR, terrace, master & patio; stainless appliances, mature avocado & orange trees; and a private patio featuring a Japanese-style rock garden with spa tub. Conveniently located to allow commutes to either Los Angeles or Orange County, and in close proximity to the panoramic view park and hikes of Signal Hill. You can buy a house that looks like every other one, or you can live in a truly special property that is a conversation piece all of it's own.
