Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1937, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant system updates including newer HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof. One bathroom is recently remodeled, and while the kitchen and second bath feature older 'vintage' or 10-15 year old styling, they remain fully functional and in good condition.
Situated on a picturesque tree-lined street within walking distance to local shops and dining, offering a highly desirable lifestyle in one of Long Beach's most sought-after neighborhoods.
The property features significant modern improvements including seismic retrofitting, updated plumbing and electrical, a newer roof, and central HVAC, providing essential peace of mind for a 1930s home.
The oversized 6,362 square foot lot includes a lush backyard with mature avocado, citrus, and pomelo trees, creating a private and productive Southern California retreat.
While the home has many upgrades, it retains some original 1937 features like a retro bathroom that may require additional investment to modernize for contemporary tastes.
At 1,510 square feet, the interior layout and room sizes may feel restrictive for buyers accustomed to the expansive open-concept designs of newer construction.
