More Insights
Built in 1926 (100 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1926, features recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint and new light-colored laminate flooring throughout both units, making it appear clean and move-in ready. However, both kitchens and bathrooms are significantly outdated with old cabinets, worn countertops, dated appliances (in the back house kitchen), and old tile/fixtures in the bathrooms. While functional, these areas would require substantial renovation to meet modern standards. Heating/cooling appears to be via wall units, not central HVAC. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep and some cosmetic refreshes, but major components are aged and show signs of being outdated, aligning with a 'fair' condition.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Income/Multi-Generational Opportunity: The property features two distinct residences on a single lot, offering excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or owner-occupancy with supplemental income.
Generous Parking & Storage: A substantial four-car garage, conveniently located off a paved alley, provides significant value for vehicle storage, workshop space, or potential for future ADU conversion (subject to local zoning).
Established Neighborhood Location: Situated in the desirable Rec Park area south of the Traffic Circle in Long Beach, the property benefits from a well-regarded community and access to local amenities.
Historic Architectural Character: Built in 1926, the property likely retains original architectural details and charm, such as the hardwood floors in the front house, appealing to buyers seeking character.
Flexible Living Arrangements: The combination of a traditional front house and a unique reverse floorplan in the back house offers diverse living options to suit various lifestyle needs or tenant preferences.
Cons
Advanced Age of Structures: As a 1926 build, the property is approaching its centennial, suggesting potential for aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roof) and higher ongoing maintenance requirements.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which may be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing scenic outlooks, especially in a coastal city like Long Beach.
Potential for Significant Modernization: Given its age, the property may require extensive updates and renovations to meet contemporary standards and maximize market value, particularly in areas not explicitly mentioned as updated.
