Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1923, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, including a newer roof, new water heater, newer copper plumbing, newer electrical, and new drywall. The back unit was remodeled from the ground up 15 years ago, aligning with the 'Good' category's renovation timeline. The images show clean and functional kitchens and bathrooms, though their aesthetic styles (e.g., honey-oak cabinets, patterned tile backsplash, older vanity styles) appear to be from a renovation 15-20 years ago rather than brand new. However, all major systems are updated and well-maintained, and the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, fitting the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential & Versatility: Duplex configuration with separate units (3 beds/2 baths and 2 beds/1 bath), including a separate yard and laundry for the back unit, ideal for rental income or multi-generational living.
Extensive Recent Renovations: Significant upgrades including a newer roof, new water heater, newer copper plumbing, newer electrical, and new drywall, indicating excellent condition and reduced immediate maintenance for a buyer.
Strategic Location: Directly across from Long Beach City College and the Boys and Girls Club, offering strong rental demand potential and convenient access to educational and recreational facilities.
Attractive Buyer Incentives: Eligibility for a $20,000 grant and a first-time buyer program with 5% down and no PMI, significantly enhancing affordability and buyer appeal.
Functional Bonus Space & Parking: Features a large bonus workshop with a half bath and a long covered driveway with lighting, providing valuable utility, storage, and secure off-street parking.

Cons

Historic Property Age: Built in 1923, the property's age, despite extensive updates, may present challenges with original structural components, potential for unforeseen issues, or higher insurance premiums.
Absence of Scenic Views: Explicitly stated 'View: None,' which may deter buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, especially in a desirable coastal region.
Lack of Central Cooling System: No mention of central air conditioning among the extensive updates, suggesting its absence, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
