More Insights

Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this quadruplex has undergone various updates across its units, as described by 'upgraded' and 'tastefully updated apartments.' While some units feature more modern elements like stainless steel appliances, mosaic backsplashes, and laminate flooring, others display older styles with light wood cabinets, white appliances, and basic tiled bathrooms and pedestal sinks. The property lacks central cooling, relying on wall heaters, which points to older systems. The overall condition suggests that while the property is maintained and move-in ready, many components show signs of being outdated, and the renovations are likely between 15-30 years old for some units, with others potentially more recent but not 'virtually new' or 'extensive' in a comprehensive sense.

Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated just half a block from the beach and Electric Avenue Greenbelt, offering immediate access to Seal Beach's pier, Main Street shops, and restaurants.
Robust Income Potential: A well-maintained quadruplex with four distinct units (2-bed/2-bath, 1-bed/1-bath, studio, and an upstairs 2-bed/2-bath), providing diverse rental opportunities.

Cons

Limited On-Site Parking: Provides only two off-street parking spaces for a four-unit property, which may be insufficient for tenants and guests in a desirable coastal area.
Property Age (1961): While units are updated, the building's 1961 construction year suggests potential for older foundational systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that may require future capital expenditure.
Absence of Central Cooling: The description emphasizes ocean breezes but does not mention a cooling system, which could be a comfort concern during warmer periods for tenants.
