Description

Top-floor historic studio with Pacific Ocean views, abundant natural light, and rare privacy in one of Long Beach’s most iconic Ocean Blvd buildings. Perched on the top floor of the iconic Sovereign Historic Building on Ocean Blvd, this charming studio offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Long Beach history with light, privacy, and coastal views. Facing southeast, the unit is filled with natural light throughout the day and enjoys views toward the shoreline and Pacific Ocean, creating an open and airy feel that lives larger than its square footage. Being on the top floor provides the added benefit of no neighbors above and only one shared wall below, enhancing privacy and quiet enjoyment. Inside, the home features wood floors, original architectural character, and timeless details that reflect the building’s Tudor-Gothic design and historic charm. The efficient layout makes excellent use of space, ideal for a first-time buyer, investment property, or corporate ownership opportunity. Built in 1923, the Sovereign was one of Long Beach’s earliest own-your-own apartment buildings, a visionary concept that helped define luxury coastal living in the Roaring Twenties. Residents and guests are welcomed by a grand marble-floored lobby, a classic black awning, and two majestic lion statues guarding the entrance. The building also offers access to shared spaces including a top-floor solarium and library, adding to its distinctive character. Conveniently located near the beach, coastal bike paths, restaurants, shopping, parks, marina, Aquarium of the Pacific, and nightlife, with close proximity to the Pike, downtown Long Beach, Convention Center, Port of Long Beach, Port of Los Angeles, and major freeways. A rare opportunity to own a top-floor residence in one of Long Beach’s most recognizable historic buildings, combining architectural significance, location, and long-term appeal.
