Property is extensive renovation needed.
While exceptionally well-maintained by the original owner, the property is over 80 years old with kitchen, bath, and flooring finishes (shag carpet) that reflect the original era or a 50+ year old renovation. Per the criteria, the lack of modern updates to major systems and interiors in over 30-50 years classifies this as a rehab opportunity.
The property features a custom-built backyard game room with a wood-burning stove and an additional detached room, offering significant potential for an ADU, home office, or rental income.

Welcome to 3266 Maine Ave in Long Beach, a truly special home being offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased brand new by the original owner in 1944. This is a rare once in a generation opportunity to own a home with history, character, and a story that is almost impossible to duplicate. Lovingly cared for, always owner occupied, and never used as a rental, this home has been maintained with pride for generations. From the moment you arrive, the charm is clear. The red brick exterior, classic curb appeal, and decorative wishing well in the front yard give the property a warm, timeless presence. Inside, the home offers a rare blend of originality, character, and functionality. Many of the classic touches remain, including vintage flooring, carpet, kitchen finishes, and bathrooms that reflect the era of the home while still being well maintained and functional.

The property also features an oversized two car garage with finished walls, finished ceiling, and attic storage, offering excellent parking, storage, workshop space, or future possibilities. The backyard is another major highlight. The owner built a beautiful game room with classy woodwork inside, creating a warm and inviting space for entertaining, watching games, hosting family, or enjoying a peaceful private retreat. This room also features a vintage wood burning stove, giving it a cozy cabin like feel. This bonus structure offers incredible flexibility and may also present future ADU, studio, or rental income potential. There is also an extra detached room in the backyard with multiple windows and electricity.

The property also offers beautiful outdoor character with producing orange, lemon, apple, and avocado trees.
