Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1937 home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready with updated central HVAC. However, it is rated 'fair' because the visible finishes—specifically the linoleum flooring in the dining and laundry areas and the older window styles—indicate the property is dated and likely hasn't undergone a comprehensive kitchen or bath renovation in over 20 years.
Situated in one of Long Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods, the property offers high walkability to local shops, parks, and dining on iconic tree-lined streets.
This 1937 residence preserves its classic architectural character while offering essential modern upgrades like central air conditioning and a dedicated indoor laundry room.
The detached garage features rare dual access from both the front driveway and the rear alley, providing exceptional parking flexibility and potential for future utility.
Given the home's 1937 construction, buyers should anticipate potential upkeep or modernization needs common in older structures, such as aging infrastructure or systems.
At a listing price of $1.225M, the property sits at a premium for a three-bedroom home, which may face stiff competition from more recently renovated properties in the immediate area.
