Prime Long Beach Location: Situated in a prime Long Beach neighborhood, minutes from Long Beach Airport, local parks (Wardlow Park, El Dorado Regional Park), The Aquarium of the Pacific, with easy freeway access and proximity to downtown Long Beach's art and cuisine.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property has an active mls listing. It was recently sold within the past year on 2025-01-23. The sold price is $915,000.00. It was recently sold within the past year on 2025-01-27. The sold price is $775,000.00.
Original Construction Age (1950): Despite extensive modern renovations, the property's original construction year of 1950 means underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond visible updates) may still be older and could potentially require future maintenance or upgrades.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention central air conditioning, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Long Beach, especially for a home with a pool and sunroom.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property 'has_view,' it is specified as a 'Neighborhood' view, lacking the premium appeal and potential value-add of panoramic, ocean, or city light views that some buyers in the Long Beach area might seek.
