Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1944, has undergone significant renovations that make it move-in ready. The kitchens feature updated white shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and a mix of stainless steel and well-maintained white appliances. Bathrooms include modern vanities and fixtures, appearing clean and functional. Throughout the living areas, there is updated light-colored laminate/LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and modern ceiling fans. While the original structure is old and some elements might be closer to 15-20 years old (e.g., white appliances in one unit, basic shower surround), the overall condition is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, indicating extensive renovations within the last 5-15 years rather than a full, recent overhaul.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Jack L. Weaver Elementary School (9/10). High School: Los Alamitos High School (9/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Situated on Seal Way in the highly desirable 'Old Town' subdivision of Seal Beach, this property offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle with proximity to the beach and local amenities.
Income-Generating Triplex: As a residential income property configured as a triplex, it provides significant potential for rental income and serves as a valuable investment asset in a sought-after market.
Strong School District Access: The property benefits from access to highly-rated public schools, including J. H. Mcgaugh Elementary (rating 8) within 0.8 miles and Los Alamitos High School (rating 9), enhancing its appeal to families.
Historic Charm Potential: Built in 1944, the property likely possesses architectural character and charm consistent with the 'Old Town' area, offering a unique aesthetic appeal that can be preserved or enhanced.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $3.65 million to $3.575 million indicates a motivated seller and potentially a more attractive entry point for investors or owner-occupants.
Cons
Age and Potential for Extensive Renovation: Constructed in 1944, the property is likely to require substantial capital expenditure for deferred maintenance, system upgrades (plumbing, electrical), and modernization to meet contemporary standards and tenant expectations.
Absence of Modern Comforts: Given its construction year, it is highly probable the property lacks modern amenities such as central air conditioning, which could be a significant drawback for tenants or future owners, especially during warmer months.
High Investment Threshold: The list price of $3.575 million represents a substantial investment, which may limit the pool of potential buyers and necessitates a robust financial commitment, primarily valuing the land and prime location over the existing structures.
