RARE Carroll Park pride of ownership fourplex with TWO FABULOUS OWNERS UNITS, a very good sized lot (7,723sf) and five garages. Just MINUTES from the BEACH! Perfect for the savvy investor looking to add a prime property to their portfolio, an owner occupant (or two!), or someone looking for a hard to find well located property with room to build add additional units. Four bedrooms and four baths! This highly desirable location is not only close to the ocean, it’s on the border of the eclectic and fun “Retro Row” shops, galleries and restaurants and in historic Carroll Park, where beautiful tree lined streets showcase the diverse turn of the century architecture Long Beach is famous for. Properties rarely come available here! The whole place is brimming with cool architectural details - from the wood ceiling portico, custom tiled entry stairs, and large custom wood chandelier to the fabulous wood doors with wrought iron and stained glass details, arched doorways, double hung windows, fireplaces and built-ins throughout. Each of the units is extra-large and has a highly desirable floor plan, abundant character and charm. There are two shared laundry rooms, one on each floor. The two owners’ units are fabulous. Both had gut remodels of the kitchen and bathroom over the last few years. One unit has a more vintage vibe with lots of custom tile work and a restored antique O’Keefe and Merritt stove. So cool! That unit also has a large private balcony in back. The other boasts a more modern feel and has an open floor plan and super cute Juliet balcony. Both kitchens are gorgeous and have quartz counters, custom soft close cabinets, updated lighting, stainless appliances and ample cabinet and counter space. Bathrooms have new vanities, new lighting, new fixtures and custom tile work. Even the closets have been redone. All of the units are light and bright with a large living room, lots of windows and fireplace. Two of them have an alcove room perfect for a home office, the other two have a large pantry. All the bathrooms and bedrooms are very good sized making the units super easy to rent. A cute side yard gives outside space for the tenants to play and at the back, there are five garages. The property has very low expenses and there is upside in the rents. Hurry - this is a very special property and the location can’t be beat!

This 1928 fourplex features two 'fabulous owner's units' that have undergone extensive 'gut remodels of the kitchen and bathroom over the last few years,' bringing them to a modern standard with quartz counters, custom soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, updated lighting, and new fixtures/tile work. The images confirm these areas are in excellent, move-in ready condition. While the overall building is old and the condition of the other two units and major systems (like plumbing, electrical, HVAC for the entire building) are not explicitly detailed as fully updated, the significant recent renovations in key areas of the primary units elevate the property's condition beyond 'Fair' and into 'Good' territory. It's move-in ready for the renovated units, with some components being virtually new, but not a full recent renovation of the entire property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Rarity: Situated in the highly desirable, historic Carroll Park, minutes from the beach and 'Retro Row,' with properties rarely available, ensuring strong demand and appreciation potential.
Strong Income & Owner-Occupant Potential: A fourplex with two 'fabulous owner's units' and noted 'upside in the rents' offers versatile investment opportunities and attractive owner-occupancy with significant rental income.
Historic Architectural Integrity: Built in 1928, the property retains significant original architectural details and character throughout, enhancing its unique appeal and long-term value.
Modernized Key Areas: Two owner's units feature recent 'gut remodels' of kitchens and bathrooms with high-end finishes, reducing immediate capital expenditure for these critical spaces.
Generous Lot & Parking: A substantial 7,723 sqft lot and five garages provide ample parking, storage, and potential for future development or expansion.

Cons

Age-Related System Concerns: Built in 1928, the property may have original or aging major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) not explicitly mentioned as updated, potentially leading to future maintenance costs.
Shared Laundry Facilities: The presence of only two shared laundry rooms (one per floor) might be less appealing to some tenants who prefer in-unit laundry, potentially affecting rent premium or tenant retention.
Inconsistent Unit Modernization: While two owner's units are extensively remodeled, the description provides less detail on the condition of the other two units, suggesting they may not be as updated and could require future investment.
