WOW!!! This TURNKEY Long Beach duplex recently underwent a jaw-dropping transformation with many designer touches and finishes that is truly A MUST-SEE and it also comes with fully approved plans to build two ADUs in the back. This property is situated just minutes away from shopping, local fav eateries, such as Bake N Broil and HiroNori Craft Ramen, and Poly High School, which is ranked one of the top 20% of all schools in California. Both units consist of two bedrooms, one bath with approximately 750 sq. feet of living space for the front unit and approximately 800 square feet for the back unit. The kitchen in both units were remodeled in 2023 with new cabinets, new floating shelves, new light fixture, luxury vinyl plank flooring and brand new stainless steel appliances to include gas stove, dishwasher garbage disposal and microwave. The bathroom for each unit was remodeled in 2023 with new tile flooring, new vanity with faucet, new mirror, new light fixture, new toilet, new shower head and reglazed tub with tile surround. Other features include new water heater installed for the front unit, new exterior light fixtures and ceiling fans, new motion sensor detection lights, partial copper repipe, partial replacement of drains to ABS and fresh paint, both interior and exterior, which were all completed in 2023. One new feature is that each unit has its own laundry area which was added in 2024. This property also has a detached garage for each unit and has space in the back to add two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). Additionally, solar panels were installed a little over almost two years ago. Live in one and rent the other one out or just rent out both...this impressive property is not to be missed!

Despite the 1953 build year, this duplex has undergone a comprehensive 'jaw-dropping transformation' in 2023-2024. Both kitchens and bathrooms were fully remodeled in 2023 with new cabinets, luxury vinyl plank flooring, brand new stainless steel appliances, modern light fixtures, new vanities, and tile work. Other significant updates include new water heaters, exterior lighting, ceiling fans, partial copper repiping, partial drain replacement, fresh interior/exterior paint (all 2023), and new in-unit laundry areas (2024). Solar panels were also installed approximately two years ago. These extensive and recent renovations mean the property is virtually new in its critical components and aesthetics, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Renovations: The property underwent a 'jaw-dropping transformation' in 2023-2024, including fully remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, updated plumbing, electrical, and fresh paint, making it truly turnkey.
Significant Income Potential: As a duplex with fully approved plans to build two additional Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), this property offers exceptional current and future income-generating opportunities.
Modern & Energy-Efficient Features: Recent additions like new stainless steel appliances, individual in-unit laundry areas (2024), and solar panels (installed ~2 years ago) enhance tenant appeal and reduce operating costs.
Prime Location & School Access: Situated minutes from shopping, popular eateries, and Poly High School, which is ranked in the top 20% of all schools in California, appealing to a broad tenant base and families.
Turnkey Condition: The comprehensive recent updates ensure the property is move-in/rent-ready, minimizing immediate capital expenditures and offering immediate occupancy or rental income.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive renovations, the core structure dates back to 1953, which may still present long-term maintenance considerations for components not fully replaced.
Compact Unit Sizes: With units at approximately 750 sq ft and 800 sq ft, the living spaces are relatively small, potentially limiting appeal to tenants or buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Partial System Upgrades: The description notes 'partial copper repipe' and 'partial replacement of drains to ABS,' indicating that not all plumbing systems were fully updated, which could lead to future issues in untouched sections.
