Property Description
Welcome to 223 Bennett Ave, a rare and exciting Belmont Heights duplex opportunity located approximately 2½ blocks from the beach and just two blocks from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and lifestyle of Belmont Shore—one of Long Beach's most desirable and walkable coastal neighborhoods.
This unique property offers two separate homes on one lot, making it ideal for an owner-occupant, investor, or someone looking to create long-term value in a premier location.
The front residence is a charming Spanish-style home featuring approximately 2,200 sq ft, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and timeless architectural details. Highlights include a large kitchen with classic barrel ceilings, generous living spaces, and abundant character that reflects the home's original charm. This home offers a wonderful canvas for thoughtful updates while preserving its authentic style.
The rear unit is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence built over the garage, nicely done and well-positioned as a strong income-producing rental or guest home—an excellent way to help offset a mortgage or maximize cash flow.
This property is all about POTENTIAL. Mostly original with some updates, it presents a rare chance to enhance, restore, or reimagine while benefiting from a high-demand location, strong rental appeal, and long-term upside.
Opportunities like this—two homes on one lot in Belmont Heights—do not come up often. A truly special chance to own, live, invest, and create value near the beach.
Did I mention ADU potential in current permitted bonus room with permitted bathroom opportunity!
