More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property shows significant age and requires substantial cosmetic rehabilitation throughout most of the interior. While the description mentions a 'remodeled kitchen' and a 'newer roof (May 2023),' the kitchen, though having updated granite countertops and some appliances, features dated cabinets and old vinyl flooring. The rest of the interior, including the living room, family room, and bedrooms, is characterized by very worn and stained carpets, outdated vinyl flooring, wood paneling, acoustic tile ceilings, and dated light fixtures. No bathroom images were provided, but given the overall condition, they are likely also in need of significant updates. The newer roof is a positive, but the extensive cosmetic work needed across nearly all living spaces, including all flooring, wall treatments, and fixtures, pushes the property into the 'poor' category, as it would be very uncomfortable to live in its current state without substantial investment.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Walkability: Positioned in the highly desirable Los Altos neighborhood, offering unparalleled walkability to Cal State Long Beach, top-rated Minnie Gant Elementary School, and a variety of essential amenities including grocery stores and restaurants.
Recent Roof Replacement: A significant capital improvement, the roof was newly installed in May 2023, providing immediate peace of mind and reducing future maintenance expenses for the new owner.
Modernized Kitchen & Open Living: Features a recently remodeled kitchen with modern finishes and functionality, alongside bright and open living spaces designed for comfortable entertaining and daily living.
Desirable Corner Lot: The property benefits from its corner lot placement, typically offering enhanced privacy, abundant natural light, and potentially greater curb appeal compared to interior lots.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as a 'well-maintained property,' indicating a good overall state of repair and care, which can reduce immediate post-purchase renovation or repair burdens.
Cons
Absence of Views: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which may deter buyers seeking scenic vistas or panoramic outlooks.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1949, the home's age, despite updates, may suggest original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could eventually require significant investment for modernization or replacement.
Lack of Central Cooling: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a considerable disadvantage and comfort concern during Long Beach's warmer periods.
