    What's special

    A great condo alternative, for the smart buyer looking for a tremendous opportunity in the downtown area of Long Beach, you cannot fail with this property. The open space makes it feel surprisingly spacious with laminate flooring throughout the living and kitchen areas and plenty of room for a dining table to be set up and even space for an office desk to spare. The bedroom is a perfect sanctuary after a long day for a restful night with the bathroom and updated walk in shower close by and a separate laundry room to the side for added convenience and extra storage. Head out the back door to your side yard for perfect summertime grilling and relaxing, possibly by the firepit? And the wooden deck is great for reading a book while having a cup of coffee. This property could easily become either a profit making rental or home sweet home for anyone looking to downsize or buy their first property and not have to deal with any homeowners association. Come take a closer look and envision the possibilities in person.
