Property Description
Originally conceived by developer Charles E. Espey and his bride Olive L. Benton, this home was later transformed in c. 1918 by prominent architect Harvey H. Lochridge, nearly doubling its footprint—each wall, beam, and truss testament to eras layered in time. In 2004, its present owners undertook a three year long complete restoration—new electrical systems, copper plumbing throughout, upgraded HVAC for each level, seismic retrofitting, EV-ready garage—so that history and modernity dance in perfect harmony.
Designated both a City of Long Beach & County of Los Angeles Historic Landmark, Pleasant View Manor participates in the LA County Mills Act Program—an annual property tax savings (approx 50% reduction) that rewards stewardship of heritage. Yet this isn't merely a relic—it is alive, poised just a gentle stroll from the beach, boutiques, cafés, 4th Street Retro Row, and The Art Theatre. Located in Historic Bluff Heights, it's where Pacific breezes meet small-town charm, and where Los Angeles and Orange County live in conversation. Pleasant View Manor is not just a home—it is a curated experience, an enduring work of architectural art. A chance to own more than square footage: to own a story.
