Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1939, this duplex shows a mix of conditions. One unit features a more updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, subway tile, and newer appliances, along with a modern bathroom. However, the other unit's kitchen has older style wood cabinets and a dated backsplash, and its bathroom is also dated, though both are clean and functional. Flooring throughout appears to be laminate, and mini-split AC units are a positive modern addition for cooling/heating. While well-maintained and livable, the property's age and the inconsistent level of renovation across both units, particularly in key areas like kitchens and bathrooms, indicate that it requires some updates to bring it to a consistently modern standard, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Duplex Configuration & Income Potential: The property features two separate homes, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or significant rental income potential.
Spacious Lot Size: A generous 6,647 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space and potential for future expansion or additional development, subject to local zoning.
Central Long Beach Location: Situated in the desirable South Wrigley subdivision, the property benefits from a central Long Beach location with convenient access to amenities and transportation.
Vintage Character: Built in 1939, the property likely retains vintage architectural charm and solid construction, appealing to buyers who appreciate historic homes.
Added Utility (Front Unit): The front house includes a bonus room, offering versatile extra living space, and a carport, providing valuable off-street parking.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Outdated Systems: Constructed in 1939, the property is 85 years old, suggesting a high likelihood of original or outdated major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that may require substantial investment for upgrades or repairs.
Compact Unit Sizes: With 1,607 sq ft divided into two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, the individual living spaces are relatively compact, which might limit appeal for larger families or those seeking more spacious accommodations.
Unspecified Interior Condition & Modernization Needs: The description highlights 'vintage character' but does not detail recent renovations or modern updates, implying potential for a buyer to incur significant costs to modernize interiors and systems to contemporary standards.
