Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1922 historic studio is well-maintained and retains significant original character, such as the wood flooring and stained-glass built-ins. However, it is classified as 'fair' because the kitchen and bathroom components—including the basic white appliances, vanity, and radiator heating—are outdated and have not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation. The property is functional and clean but reflects the standards of an aged building with vintage infrastructure.
Positioned on the top floor with a southeast orientation, this unit offers stunning, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the Long Beach coastline.
Located in the iconic 1922 Sovereign building, the property boasts timeless Tudor-Gothic character, original wood floors, and access to a grand marble lobby and solarium.
Being a top-floor residence ensures no neighbors are living above, providing a quieter and more private living environment compared to lower-level units.
With only 347 square feet of living area, the studio layout is exceptionally compact, which may limit furniture arrangements and storage options.
The 1920s construction may lack modern conveniences such as central air conditioning or in-unit laundry, common in newer luxury developments.
