More Insights
Built in 1939 (87 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1939, the property has been 'recently renovated inside & out' as stated in the description, which is strongly supported by the images. Both units feature modern, updated kitchens with new white shaker cabinets, contemporary countertops, and stylish backsplashes (gray subway/mosaic in the front unit, teal mosaic in the ADU). Appliances are mostly stainless steel and appear new, though the front unit has an older white range. Bathrooms in both units are also fully renovated with modern vanities, fixtures, and tile work. Flooring is new wood-look laminate/LVP throughout most areas, with clean carpet in the front unit's bedrooms. Recessed lighting and modern ceiling fans are present. The overall aesthetic is fresh, clean, and move-in ready, meeting current quality standards for a recently renovated property.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Opportunity: The property offers a compelling 'live in one & rent the other' model, providing immediate rental income potential or significant mortgage offset for an owner-occupant.
Permitted ADU: The back unit is a permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), adding substantial value, legal rental income, and flexibility without the complexities of unpermitted structures.
Recent Renovation: Having been 'recently renovated inside & out,' the property presents a move-in or tenant-ready condition, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for the new owner.
Secured Private Parking: The inclusion of secured private parking in the rear is a highly desirable amenity in urban Long Beach, offering convenience and peace of mind for residents and tenants.
Versatile Property Type: As a duplex and residential income property, it appeals to a broad market, including investors seeking cash flow and owner-occupants looking for supplemental income.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1939, the property's age suggests potential for underlying infrastructure issues (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may not be fully addressed by recent cosmetic renovations.
Limited Interior Space: With a total of 1316 sqft for two units (2 bed/1 bath and 1 bed/1 bath), the individual living spaces are relatively compact, which might limit appeal to larger families or those desiring more expansive interiors.
Potential for Noise/Privacy Issues: As a duplex, residents share walls and potentially outdoor areas, which can inherently lead to increased noise transfer and reduced privacy compared to a single-family residence.
