Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready with fresh paint and updated dual-pane windows. However, the kitchen and bathroom are dated, featuring older tile countertops and fixtures that appear to be over 20 years old. The presence of a wall heater suggests older HVAC systems, and while the original hardwoods are a plus, the property requires modernization of its core systems and wet areas to meet current standards.
The home features freshly painted interiors and exteriors, beautifully preserved original hardwood floors, and updated dual-pane windows, offering a turnkey experience for first-time buyers.
Situated in the heart of Lakewood Mutuals, the property offers exceptional convenience with close proximity to Lakewood Center, Long Beach Exchange, and major freeways for easy commuting.
The generous 5,300 square foot lot provides ample outdoor space and significant potential for future additions or the construction of an ADU to increase property value.
With only 887 square feet of living area and two bedrooms, the home's small footprint may be restrictive for growing families or those requiring a home office.
The 1952 layout includes only one bathroom, which can be a significant drawback for multi-person households and lacks the modern convenience of a primary suite.
