Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1928, this historic unit is functional and clean but significantly outdated, with the listing itself describing it as a 'blank slate awaiting restoration.' While it features updated laminate flooring and a well-maintained Art Deco lobby, the kitchen and bathroom contain old-fashioned cabinetry, basic white appliances, and vintage tiling that show their age and require modernization to meet current standards.
The property is under a Mills Act contract, offering owners substantial property tax savings and a unique financial advantage in a historic landmark.
Located in the iconic Art Deco Lafayette building, the unit features high ceilings and access to premium amenities including a panoramic rooftop deck and fitness center.
Situated in the heart of Downtown Long Beach's coastal core, the property boasts a high walkability score with immediate access to dining, entertainment, and the beach.
The interior is a complete 'blank slate' awaiting restoration, requiring a significant additional investment of time and capital to become move-in ready.
At just 522 square feet, the compact living space may be restrictive for buyers seeking more room or ample storage options.
Why settle for a generic high-rise when you can own a landmark? This one-bedroom in the historic Lafayette is a rare "value-add" opportunity. The standout feature: a Mills Act contract that grants owners massive property tax savings, a significant hedge against inflation and a boost to your bottom line. While the interior is a blank slate awaiting restoration, the bones are irreplaceable. You get the security of controlled access, a fitness center,a game room, front desk concierge and a panoramic rooftop deck perfect for hosting events. Whether you're looking for a low-tax, a smart first purchase, or a creative renovation project, this is a strategic acquisition in a walkable coastal core. Ditch the inflated taxes and invest in Art Deco character. High ceilings, great light, and zero "cookie-cutter" energy.
