Good

Built in 1937, this property has undergone significant and recent renovations to its key areas. The kitchens feature modern stainless steel appliances, white subway tile backsplashes, and updated countertops, while the bathrooms boast contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tile work (subway and hexagonal mosaic). Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. While not every component is brand new, the extensive updates to the kitchens and bathrooms, as described and shown in the images, bring these critical areas to a high, modern standard, fitting the 'Good' category's criteria for extensive renovation within 5-15 years and being move-in ready.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: Situated in a highly desirable Belmont Heights location, offering convenient walking access to local restaurants, shopping, and the beach, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Strong Income Potential: A duplex with two independent units currently generating substantial rental income ($3,975 and $3,400 per month respectively), with clear upside potential for investors.
Spacious & Independent Units: Both units exceed 2,000 square feet, providing ample living space, and are designed to feel like separate homes, offering privacy and comfort.
Architectural Charm & Modern Updates: Retains significant character with features like crown moldings, archways, and hardwood floors, complemented by recently remodeled kitchens and bathrooms in both units.
Private Garden Oasis: Features a large, private interior garden with mature vegetation, thoughtfully divided to afford each home its own secluded outdoor space.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1937, the property, despite recent remodels, may have older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Limited Parking: Each unit is equipped with only a single-car garage, which may be insufficient for residents with multiple vehicles or those requiring additional storage space.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in Long Beach.
