Property Description
Calling all Investors! Over $360K price improvement! 2 huge Single Family Homes in Prime California Heights! Unlock a rare opportunity in Long Beach's highly desirable California Heights Historic District. This unique property offers two detached homes on one lot, ideal for 1031 exchange buyers, house hackers, or investors seeking a rental property in a hot location.
The front house is a fully renovated in 2024 4 bed / 4 bath stunner, featuring two master suites, private entrances for select bedrooms (perfect for room rentals), dual living areas, and outdoor decks-designed with long-term or short-term rental flexibility in mind.
The back house (ADU) is brand new construction (approx. 1,300 sq. ft.) and offers 3 beds / 2 baths, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a private driveway with alley access-separate and private from the front home.
Both units are on separate gas and electric meters, and each has its own driveway with RV parking potential. Low maintenance, fully updated, and located on a street recently featured on HGTV, this property has serious upside.
Live in one, rent the other, or rent both-this is a high-demand rental area with long-term appreciation potential. Priced well below market value on a per-square-foot basis.
