Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1946, the property has undergone extensive renovations, including updated kitchens and bathrooms, central air and heat, double-pane windows, and updated flooring. The images confirm clean, functional, and well-maintained spaces, particularly in the kitchens and bathrooms, which feature white cabinetry, light countertops, and white appliances, along with updated vanities and fixtures. While the style of these updates is not ultra-modern (e.g., white appliances instead of stainless steel, some older style ceiling fans), they are clearly recent enough to make the property move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The property's major systems are functional and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated in highly desirable Old Town Seal Beach, offering exceptional walkability to restaurants, shops, the pier, and the beach, fostering a unique small-town community lifestyle.
Versatile Dual-Unit Property: Features a main 2-bed/1-bath home and a separate 2-bed/1-bath unit above the garage, providing excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office/guest suite.
Extensive Modern Updates: Both units boast updated kitchens and bathrooms, central air and heat, double-pane windows, canned lighting, ceiling fans, and updated flooring, ensuring a move-in ready condition.
Desirable Outdoor Living Spaces: Includes a charming front patio perfect for community interaction and a large private back patio ideal for entertaining and barbecues.
Valuable Inclusions & Garage Amenities: Comes with most appliances (refrigerator, stoves/ovens, washer/dryer) and a spacious two-car garage featuring a large laundry area and ample workspace with extra cabinets.

Cons

Compact Lot Size: The 2500 sqft lot is relatively small, which may limit significant outdoor yard space or future expansion possibilities for a property with two distinct units.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1946, despite extensive updates, the underlying older structure could potentially lead to unforeseen maintenance issues or require more substantial capital expenditures in the long term compared to newer builds.
Limited Square Footage for Price Point: With a total of 1254 sqft across both units and a list price of $1.549M, the property offers a relatively small living area for its premium price in the Seal Beach market, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
