Property Description

Step into history with this beautifully updated Craftsman-style duplex, built in 1929, offering two detached 2 bedroom, 1 bath homes on a generous 7,899 sq ft lot with approximately 1,672 sq ft of living space. Each unit blends timeless charm with modern upgrades, making this a unique opportunity for both homeowners and investors. Both homes showcase refinished original hardwood floors that have been sanded, stained, and sealed to perfection. The rich wood moldings, baseboards, and doors have been carefully restored, while fresh paint inside and out highlights the architectural details. The remodeled kitchens feature new cabinets, quartz countertops, tile flooring, and stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, stove, and microwave hood vent. Bathrooms have also been refreshed, with one home offering a full remodel with a new tub, tile surround, vanity, mirror, and glass shower door, while the second home features a new vanity, toilet, reglazed tub, and updated fixtures. Additional upgrades include new dual-pane windows in both units, stylish new light fixtures, a brand-new central AC and heating system in the right home, updated heater in the left home, and all-new copper plumbing on one side with PEX and copper updates on the other. Outside, the property has been enhanced with new landscaping, a gazebo patio cover, and mature fruit trees including mango and banana. A security alarm system is also included with the sale. According to the City of Long Beach Planning Department, the existing garages may be converted into two additional ADU units, creating the potential for a total of four units on the lot (buyer to verify). Located within the Long Beach Unified School District, this property is served by Harte Elementary, Lindbergh Middle, and Jordan High School. Residents will enjoy nearby Houghton Park with its sports fields, skatepark, and community center, as well as the shops and dining at Uptown Commons. With easy access to the 710 and 91 freeways, this Craftsman duplex offers charm, upgrades, and future potential in one of Long Beach’s most connected neighborhoods. "Welcome Home!"
