More Insights

Built in 1943 (83 years old).
Condition: This property presents a mixed condition. The ADU and Jr. ADU, built in 2023, are in excellent condition with modern kitchens featuring white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary bathrooms with new vanities and tiling. All three units benefit from new HVAC systems. However, the original house, built in 1943, features a dated kitchen with tiled countertops and older cabinets, and a bathroom with older tile and fixtures. While the main house's living areas and bedrooms appear well-maintained with hardwood floors and fresh paint, the kitchen and main bathroom show signs of being outdated. The significant new construction and system updates for two of the three units, combined with the main house being functional and move-in ready (despite cosmetic updates being desirable in its kitchen and bath), lead to an overall 'Good' score.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income Potential: The property includes a permitted ADU and Jr. ADU, providing significant rental income opportunities or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Modern Auxiliary Units: Both the ADU and Jr. ADU were newly constructed in 2023 with permits, ensuring modern standards, new HVAC systems, and separate utilities for these units.
Desirable Location: Situated in the 'Great Lakewood Village Location' in Long Beach, known for its community appeal and convenient access to amenities.
Enhanced Privacy & Independence: Each of the three units boasts separate entrances, fenced yard areas, and individually metered utilities, maximizing privacy and operational independence for occupants.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 7,731 sqft lot provides ample space for the multiple units and their respective outdoor areas.

Cons

Age of Primary Residence: The original house was built in 1943, suggesting potential for older systems, finishes, or maintenance requirements not explicitly covered by the new ADU/Jr. ADU construction.
Complex Management: Operating a property with three distinct units (main house, ADU, Jr. ADU) may entail more complex management responsibilities for an owner-occupant or landlord compared to a traditional single-family home.
Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $1,595,000 is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $887,541.01, indicating a potential overvaluation or a unique value proposition (like the ADUs) not fully captured by standard models, which could impact buyer perception and financing.
