More Insights

Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: This 1953-built home has undergone extensive and thoughtful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. The primary bathroom is updated with a custom glass walk-in shower. Flooring includes well-maintained original hardwood, newer wood-look laminate/LVP, and clean carpets. Key infrastructure updates like 200 amp electrical, dual-pane windows, and a new main line are significant. While not brand new, the updates appear to be within the last 5-15 years, and the addition of mini-split AC units addresses cooling needs, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' condition criteria.

About this home

This beautifully updated Plaza home has the perfect blend of character, charm, and easy everyday living. The kitchen opens to the family room, creating a bright, connected space with an inviting corner fireplace and open-beam ceiling. The living room has that classic Mid-Century modern feel with original hardwood floors, vintage shiplap accents, and its own cozy fireplace. All three bedrooms are comfortable and well-sized, and the primary suite includes an updated bath with a custom glass walk-in shower. The backyard is low-maintenance with a great patio area for relaxing or entertaining, plus a finished off, detached two-car garage that's perfect for use as either a cabana or ADU. Other features of this home include dual pane windows, 200 amp electrical, two fireplaces, and a new main line. All of this set on an interior street in the heart of the Plaza neighborhood, steps from award winning Cubberley K-8, and close to El Dorado Park, the dog park, and bike trails — a wonderful spot to enjoy Long Beach living.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Newcomb Academy (9/10).
ADU Potential & Flex Space: The finished, detached two-car garage offers significant value and flexibility, ideal for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or use as a cabana/additional living space.
Prime Location & Amenities: Situated on an interior street in the desirable Plaza neighborhood, the home is steps from the award-winning Cubberley K-8 school and close to El Dorado Park, a dog park, and bike trails, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Key Infrastructure Updates: Recent upgrades including dual-pane windows, 200 amp electrical service, and a new main line provide modern efficiency and reduce immediate maintenance concerns for major systems.
Charming Mid-Century Design with Modern Touches: The property beautifully blends classic Mid-Century modern character, original hardwood floors, and vintage shiplap with contemporary updates like an open-concept kitchen/family room and an updated primary bath with a custom walk-in shower.
Low-Maintenance Outdoor Living: The backyard features a low-maintenance design with a great patio area, perfect for relaxing and entertaining without extensive upkeep.

Cons

Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description highlights fireplaces for heating but does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in Long Beach.
Age of Property (1953): Despite numerous updates, the home's 1953 construction year may imply potential for older systems or components not explicitly mentioned as updated, which could lead to future maintenance or replacement costs.
Moderate Lot Size: With a lot size of 5600 sqft, while adequate, it is not expansive. The presence of a detached two-car garage (with ADU potential) may further limit usable green space for some buyers desiring a larger yard.
