Built in 1948, this triplex shows its age through dated interiors, particularly in the kitchens and bathrooms. While some updates like the bathroom's subway tile and some kitchen countertops/flooring are present, the appliances are older, cabinet styles are mixed and dated, and heating is via wall units. The property is functional and appears maintained, with a recent roof replacement (August 2024) being a significant positive. However, the overall aesthetic and features of the kitchens and bathrooms, along with other interior elements, are outdated and would require substantial modernization to meet current standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
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 Ocean Ave in Old Town Seal Beach, just a block from the sand and ocean, and a few blocks from Main Street's shops and restaurants.
Income-Generating Triplex: A rare multi-unit property (3 units) in a highly desirable area, offering significant rental income potential.
ADU Development Opportunity: Potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the lot, which could further enhance income and property value.
Ocean Views: The top unit features desirable peek-a-boo ocean views from its spacious patio and living room.
Recent Capital Improvement: A new rear flat roof installed in August 2024, addressing a major maintenance item.

Cons

Property Age & Condition: Built in 1948, the property may require ongoing maintenance and updates beyond the recent roof replacement to modernize interiors and systems.
Limited Parking: Tenants rely on street permit parking, which can be less convenient than dedicated off-street parking.
Shared Facilities & Unit Size: Two of the units share laundry facilities and a small yard, and individual unit sizes are relatively modest, which could impact tenant desirability or rental rates.
