Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960, this Balboa Island duplex is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age. While the main house features some updates like hardwood floors and newer mini-split AC units, the listing explicitly notes that the secondary unit retains '50's and 60's aesthetics.' The exterior images show a clean but dated structure, and the lack of modern kitchen or bathroom renovations mentioned in the description suggests the property is functional but requires minor to moderate updates to meet current market standards.
Situated just two blocks from Marine Avenue, this property offers an exceptionally walkable lifestyle in the heart of Balboa Island, providing immediate access to premier dining, shopping, and entertainment.
