About the Space This 1914 historic Aeroplane Bungalow Craftsman home, designed in the rare Japo-Swiss architectural style, is located in the Rose Park Historic District of Long Beach, directly on a tree-lined roundabout surrounding Rose Park (est. 1910). The setting offers a unique combination of architectural character, natural greenery, and a quiet, visually rich neighborhood ideal for film, photo, and content production. Outdoor Spaces: The exterior is the standout feature, offering multiple distinct shoot-ready environments. A large wraparound porch spans the front and side of the home, styled with lounge seating and rocking chairs that provide a range of angles throughout the day. The front yard features a vibrant edible garden filled with seasonal greenery, adding texture, depth, and color to outdoor scenes. A stone pathway lined with lush ferns leads to a fully enclosed backyard, surrounded by a custom redwood fence for privacy and controlled production conditions. The backyard includes a handcrafted seating area with custom upholstered furniture arranged around a fire pit, along with a large picnic table beneath a mature jacaranda tree with hanging lanterns, ideal for lifestyle, editorial, and twilight shoots. Interior Features The home retains original architectural details including hardwood floors, wood-framed windows, and exposed wood elements. Large windows throughout provide strong natural light, creating a bright and dynamic interior environment. The space is layered with curated vintage furnishings and vibrant indoor plants that add visual interest across rooms. The living room offers a flexible shooting space with multiple windows, midcentury-inspired seating, and a vintage record player. The dining room includes a vintage table and bar setup with sightlines into the backyard, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor compositions. The kitchen is clean and functional with modern appliances, suitable for food shoots or staging. An additional downstairs office space can be used for production support, staging, or as an alternate setup. High-speed WiFi is available throughout. Upstairs Spaces The upper level features a primary room surrounded by windows, creating a treehouse-like setting with views of treetops and sky. A secondary room, styled as a sitting space with a vintage Eames recliner, offers a similar light-filled environment, giving productions multiple distinct interior looks.
