BACK ON THE MARKET subject to the cancellation of current escrow. This family home has lightly been renovated over the years and now on the market. It consists of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; however the section off of the kitchen can easily be transformed into a Spacious Master Bedroom with a walk in closet; transforming the home into a 5 bedroom home, 2 bath home. The interior of the home was upgraded throughout the years and has great potential for much more. The large dining/family room can seat a large table for gatherings or converted to an additional bedroom since it does have walk in closet that is currently used as a pantry. The slider off the dining area opens into a large patio area with stamped concrete. The patio has a wonderful outdoor built in barbecue/kitchen for gatherings a sitting area and a small covered work out section for those exercise aficionados and a 2-1/2 car garage. It also has retractable lighted awnings for making those evening parties/gatherings last longer. WAIT, THERE IS MORE....THE HUGE BONUS:...the large 2-1/2 car garage with double doors was reinforced with pillars for an ADU, which was required by the city at the last sale and is permitted. Imagine! The foundation for that ADU is ready for you to add a generous 2/1 unit over the garage for that extended family or additional income. the property is located in a mature calm neighborhood that is central to commuting to DTLA, LAX, Cal State Dominguez, 91/110/405 freeways, and LOTS MORE. This spacious home is ready for you to make it your own. Priced within the market range with seller willing to make concessions for stucco and fascia board repairs. Make an appointment to come and see!

The property, built in 1954, has received piecemeal renovations over the years. While the kitchen features modern gray shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and newer appliances, the bathroom appears dated with blue tile and a pedestal sink, suggesting an older renovation. Flooring is inconsistent, with newer hardwood in the living room and modern laminate in the kitchen, but older carpet in bedrooms and varied tile elsewhere. The listing explicitly mentions the need for stucco and fascia board repairs, indicating deferred exterior maintenance. Overall, the home is functional and maintained but requires minor updates and repairs to achieve a more cohesive and modern aesthetic.
Pros & Cons

Pros

ADU Potential: The property boasts a significant value-add with a permitted foundation for a generous 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) over the 2.5-car garage, offering potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Flexible Floor Plan: The current 4-bedroom layout offers excellent flexibility, with easy conversion potential to a 5-bedroom home by transforming a section off the kitchen into a spacious master suite, or converting the large dining/family room into an additional bedroom.
Enhanced Outdoor Entertainment: A large patio area with stamped concrete, a wonderful outdoor built-in barbecue/kitchen, a sitting area, a covered workout section, and retractable lighted awnings create an ideal space for gatherings and outdoor living.
Strategic Commuter Location: Located in a mature, calm neighborhood, the property offers central access to major freeways (91/110/405), Downtown LA, LAX, and Cal State Dominguez, making it highly convenient for commuters.
Recent Interior Upgrades: The interior has been upgraded throughout the years and lightly renovated, providing a well-maintained living space with modern touches and good potential for further personalization.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-07-31. The sold price is $685,000.00.
Deferred Exterior Maintenance: The seller's willingness to make concessions for stucco and fascia board repairs indicates existing exterior maintenance issues that will need to be addressed.
Age of Property: Built in 1954, the property is an older home, which, despite renovations, may still have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future updates or maintenance.
Back on Market Status: The property being 'BACK ON THE MARKET subject to the cancellation of current escrow' may raise questions for potential buyers regarding the reasons the previous deal fell through.
