Built in 1912 (114 years old).
Condition: This property is a duplex with units built in 1912 and the 1980s. While the listing states that all systems in the 1912 unit have been upgraded (copper plumbing, new roof), the interior images, particularly of the kitchens (Image 2, 7, 13), show dated styles and appliances. The 1912 unit's kitchen (Image 7) features a basic white electric coil stove and older white cabinets, suggesting a renovation 20-30+ years ago. The 1980s unit's kitchen (Image 13) is slightly more modern with darker countertops and recessed lighting but still appears to be 15-20+ years old. Flooring varies between hardwood (1912 unit), tile, and carpet (both units), with carpets and some tiles showing age. The property is maintained and functional, but the interior aesthetics and some components are outdated, requiring minor updates to meet current standards. This aligns with the 'fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: Located in the highly desirable Belmont Heights section of Long Beach, offering convenient access to the beach, bay, and renowned shopping, dining, and entertainment on 2nd Street.
Income-Generating Duplex: A '2 on 1' residential income property, featuring two distinct units (2-bed/1-bath and 3-bed/2.5-bath), providing excellent rental potential and investment flexibility.
Historic Charm with Modern Upgrades: Maintains original 1912 craftsmanship and character while benefiting from significant system upgrades, including copper plumbing and a new roof, blending classic appeal with modern reliability.
Versatile Unit Configuration: Comprises a charming 1912-built unit and a detached, newer 1980s-built unit, offering diverse living arrangements and appealing to a broader range of tenants or owner-occupancy scenarios.
Ample Parking and Storage: Includes two separate 2-car garages, providing substantial parking and storage solutions, a valuable amenity for a multi-unit property in an urban setting.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 6.
No Specific View: The property description explicitly states 'None' for views, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean or city vistas in a coastal Long Beach location.
Age of Original Structure: While upgraded, the primary 1912-built unit is an older structure, which could imply ongoing maintenance considerations or potentially less modern layouts/features compared to contemporary builds.
Varied Unit Aesthetics/Condition: With one unit built in 1912 and the other in the 1980s, there may be significant differences in architectural style, interior finishes, and overall condition between the two units, potentially impacting tenant appeal or renovation consistency.
