Despite being built in 1973, this duplex has undergone extensive and very recent renovations, as highlighted by the description 'newly remodeled throughout' and 'functional and cosmetic updates throughout,' with the air conditioning being new in 2023 and a new roof. The images confirm a modern aesthetic with a fully updated kitchen featuring white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a stylish teal island with pendant lighting, and recessed lighting. The flooring appears to be new, light-toned wood-look material throughout. The overall condition, including major systems and visible finishes, suggests the property is virtually new and meets current quality standards, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' rating criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Oceanfront Location: Situated directly on the Balboa Peninsula boardwalk, steps from the sand and ocean, offering unparalleled access to beach activities, Balboa Fun Zone, and ferry service to Balboa Island and Catalina. The corner location provides abundant sunlight and ocean breezes.
Exceptional Income Potential: This duplex is a turnkey vacation rental business with a proven track record and excellent reviews. It holds two rare Short Term Lodging Permits, a significant advantage in a city with limited availability, ensuring strong rental income opportunities.
Extensive Recent Remodeling & Updates: Both units have been newly remodeled throughout, including upgraded kitchens (one with an island and wine fridge). Recent major updates include new air conditioning (2023), a new roof, and double-paned windows, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Breathtaking Ocean Views: The upstairs living/great room offers stunning, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and Balboa Pier, a highly desirable feature for both personal enjoyment and vacation rental appeal.
Rare Oversize Garage: The property includes a rare oversize garage capable of accommodating up to four cars, a significant asset in a high-density beach community where parking is often at a premium.

Cons

High-Traffic/Noise Exposure: Being located directly on the boardwalk and near popular attractions like the Balboa Fun Zone means the property is exposed to significant pedestrian traffic and potential noise, which may impact privacy and tranquility for residents.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: While the lower unit features a large deck, the overall lot size of 2614 sqft is relatively small for a duplex, suggesting minimal private yard space beyond the building footprint and decks, which some buyers may desire.
Ongoing Maintenance for Oceanfront Property: Despite recent updates, oceanfront properties inherently face accelerated wear and tear from salt air and moisture, potentially leading to higher long-term maintenance and repair costs for the exterior and structural components.
