More Insights
Built in 1942 (84 years old).
Condition: Built in 1942, this home presents as move-in ready due to recent cosmetic updates. The property features freshly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors downstairs, and new carpeting upstairs. Air conditioning is a modern comfort. While the kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting, the tile countertops, backsplash, and cabinet style appear dated. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional but feature older fixtures and tile, suggesting they were renovated 15-30 years ago or are original with minor updates. Overall, the home is well-maintained and functional, requiring no immediate renovations, but the kitchen and bathrooms would benefit from aesthetic modernization to meet current trends.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Lowell Elementary School (9/10).

Spacious & Functional Layout: Features a practical 2,064 sq. ft. layout with generous natural light, a large living room, formal dining, and a kitchen with a dedicated eating area, plus all bedrooms located upstairs for privacy.
Architectural Charm & Corner Lot: Boasts enduring architectural character, elegant hardwood floors, and benefits from a corner lot position, enhancing curb appeal and natural light.
Desirable Outdoor Space & Parking: Includes a sizable rear yard, providing ample outdoor living space, complemented by a convenient two-car garage.
Modern Comfort & Top Schools: Equipped with air conditioning for year-round comfort and located within a highly-rated Long Beach Unified School District, with excellent elementary, middle, and high schools nearby.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Bedroom Count Discrepancy: The property is configured as 4 bedrooms, but public records indicate 3, which could potentially impact appraisal or future permitting.
Lack of Premium Views: While offering neighborhood views, the property does not feature panoramic ocean, city lights, or other premium scenic vistas that some buyers may desire.
Significant Recent Price Appreciation: Listed at $1.295M after a sale at $600K in October 2023, this substantial price increase in a short timeframe may require careful justification with recent comparable sales.
