Lovely building & unit in a premier area of Long Beach just 1 1/2 blocks to Ocean Ave and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Picturesque Bluff Park is home to many stately homes, wide streets and elaborately designed streetlamps. The mid-century modern Carlton Imperial, designed by Paul McKenzie is nestled in a neighborhood of classic 2nd St. mansions. Paul McKenzie had a reputation for excellent design and workmanship. This is the perfect location to enjoy a healthful and connected lifestyle. You are ideally located near Belmont Shore and minutes to downtown Shoreline Village. Walk your dog in Bluff Park...stroll or ride your bike on the path below to Shoreline Village. You are 1 block from Broadway's restaurants and bars. More than $150,000 in designer upgrades, including engineered wood floors, remodeled kitchen and baths with granite and custom cabinets, high-end appliances and fixtures. Both bedrooms have excellent closet space, especially the main bedroom with 4 mirrored sliders. Some of the other amenities include smooth ceilings, crown molding, mirrored wardrobes, recessed lights and ceiling fans, and new carpet in bedrooms. This condominium is not in move-in condition, it is in love-in condition. The unit includes one secure parking space with storage. The Carlton Imperial is a pet friendly complex. See to appreciate! Requirements per SB326 (balcony maintenance) have been resolved! Inspections and repairs completed. HOA has agreed to pay for these repairs from the reserves. The funds earmarked for painting the exterior were used to repair balconies. A vote was taken and passed to assess each owner $4,000 to pay for stucco repair and exterior paint. Owner has agreed to pay this assessment. See private remarks for further explanation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Lowell Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in the highly desirable Bluff Park area, just 1.5 blocks from Ocean Ave and the Pacific Ocean, offering an active, connected lifestyle near Belmont Shore, Shoreline Village, and Broadway's dining/entertainment.
Extensive Designer Upgrades: Over $150,000 in recent designer upgrades, including engineered wood floors, remodeled kitchen and baths with high-end finishes, smooth ceilings, crown molding, and recessed lighting.
Architecturally Significant Building: Located in the 'Carlton Imperial,' a mid-century modern building designed by renowned architect Paul McKenzie, known for excellent design and workmanship.
Proactive HOA Maintenance: Major SB326 balcony maintenance requirements have been resolved and completed, with the current owner covering their share of a recent assessment for stucco repair and exterior paint, indicating a well-managed HOA addressing building integrity.
Desirable Unit Amenities: Features include excellent closet space in both bedrooms (main with 4 mirrored sliders), a secure parking space with storage, and a pet-friendly complex.

Cons

Recent Special Assessment: While the current owner is paying, a recent $4,000 special assessment for stucco repair and exterior paint indicates ongoing significant building maintenance costs that could recur for future owners.
Building Age: Constructed in 1964, the building's age, despite extensive unit upgrades, suggests potential for future common area infrastructure updates or maintenance beyond cosmetic improvements.
Lack of Specific View: Despite its proximity to the ocean and Bluff Park, the unit description explicitly states 'view:None,' which might be a missed opportunity for a property in such a prime coastal location.
