More Insights
Built in 1922 (104 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1922, has received several updates including dual-pane windows, laminate flooring throughout, and refreshed kitchen cabinets and countertops. The bathrooms also feature updated vanities and one includes an accessibility-focused walk-in tub. However, the kitchen is missing all major appliances, which is a significant functional deficiency preventing it from being truly 'move-in ready.' Additionally, lighting fixtures in both the kitchen and bathrooms are outdated, and the overall aesthetic, while clean, suggests a need for further personalization and modernization to meet current standards.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Connectivity: Nestled on a quiet private street near a peaceful greenbelt, the home offers excellent proximity to Poly High School, Long Beach City College, Downtown Long Beach, shopping, dining, and major transportation routes, enhancing convenience and lifestyle.
Enhanced Accessibility Features: Thoughtful accessibility features, including ramps and a walk-in bathtub in the primary bedroom, provide added convenience and broaden the property's appeal to a wider range of buyers.
Modernized Core Elements: The presence of dual-pane windows and laminate flooring throughout contributes to energy efficiency, a refreshed aesthetic, and reduces immediate renovation needs in these areas.
Valuable Outdoor Space & Parking: A nicely sized gated front yard offers private outdoor living space for gatherings or gardening, complemented by an attached 1-car garage and additional driveway parking for two vehicles, a significant advantage in urban settings.
Desirable Open Floor Plan: The open floor plan creates a bright and welcoming interior, catering to contemporary living preferences and facilitating seamless flow between living areas.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Age & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1922, the property's age suggests that while some updates have been made, major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may still be original or require significant investment for modernization.
Requires Personalization/Further Updates: The description indicates the home is 'ready for a new owner to add personal touches,' implying that additional cosmetic or functional updates may be desired or necessary to fully align with modern tastes or maximize value.
Limited Lot Size: With a lot size of 2299 sqft, the property offers relatively limited outdoor space, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard for extensive landscaping, recreation, or future expansion.
