Property is extensive renovation needed.
While the unit has fresh interior paint and newer flooring, the kitchen and bathroom are original 'vintage' installations significantly exceeding the 30-year threshold. The kitchen features outdated cabinetry and an aged gas stove, and the bathroom retains century-old fixtures and radiator heating, indicating a need for a full rehab to modernize systems.
Situated in the iconic 1925 Wilmore Building, the property features unique vintage charm, a grand lobby, and a rooftop garden that provides a distinct character often missing in modern developments.

Located in the heart of Downtown Long Beach, the property offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle with immediate access to the beach, Shoreline Village, and the vibrant dining scene on Pine Avenue.
The building currently has a 6-to-8-month waitlist for parking, necessitating the use of off-site hotel parking or street options, which can be a major drawback for vehicle owners.
With only 456 square feet of living space, the studio layout is quite compact, which may limit its appeal to a narrower demographic of buyers or those requiring more storage.
