More Insights
Built in 1924 (101 years old).
Condition: Built in 1924, this property retains its historic charm with original features like fireplaces and hardwood floors. While well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated, featuring older white appliances, basic cabinetry, older tile flooring, pedestal sinks, and dated light fixtures. These areas appear to have been updated 15-30 years ago, rather than recently. The property is functional and livable but requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards.

About this home
This charming duplex near downtown in Alamitos Heights Long Beach is a gem! Enjoy the front porch and back private yards in the two units, that mirror image each other. The original fireplaces and built in shelving in the large living room are incredible pieces of the history. The open living room and dining room make these two units a great place for entertaining. They both feel like their own private homes. The large kitchen comes complete with a refrigerator and stove/oven. The bathrooms are large with plenty of storage. The back bedrooms in each unit are very spacious and windows facing south allow great sunlight. The backyards are amazing with plenty of room for a garden and storage. There is no garage or driveway, so street parking only. This is a great investment opportunity!
