More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this property requires substantial rehabilitation, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features severely outdated oak cabinets, tile countertops, and tile flooring, necessitating a full renovation. Both bathrooms are also very dated, with old fixtures, vanities, and flooring. While the property benefits from upgraded copper plumbing and original hardwood floors under the carpet, the visible carpets are old and worn, and there's a notable lack of a modern cooling system. The overall aesthetic and functional obsolescence of key areas, combined with the property's age, indicate that it needs more than minor updates to meet current living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Neighborhood: Located in one of the nicest and most desirable neighborhoods in Long Beach, offering strong community appeal and potential for appreciation.
Upgraded Plumbing: Features full copper plumbing under the raised foundation, a significant and costly upgrade that reduces future maintenance concerns for a home of this age.
Original Hardwood Floors: The presence of original untouched hardwood floors under the carpet offers excellent potential for restoration, adding classic charm and value to the interior.
Functional Living Spaces: Includes a family room with ample windows providing views to the patio and backyard, and a skylight in the living room, enhancing natural light and indoor-outdoor flow.
Ample Parking & Workspace: A long driveway leading to a two-car garage with an extra workroom and a separate entrance door provides practical utility, storage, and potential for a dedicated hobby space.
Cons
Requires Renovation/Updates: The property explicitly states it needs 'a little TLC,' indicating it is not move-in ready and will require additional investment for cosmetic and potentially functional updates to meet modern standards.
Lack of Modern Cooling System: While a fireplace is mentioned for warmth, there is no indication of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Long Beach.
Older Construction Considerations: Built in 1952, despite some upgrades like copper plumbing, other major systems (e.g., electrical, roof, windows) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
