This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 1324sf single story residence on a quiet tree lined street in one of Downey's popular family neighborhoods is ready to show off! The exterior just received an elevated face lift with new stucco and trim and new garage door to give the property strong curb appeal. The interior has also been refurbished. The newly refinished original oak flooring is stunning with the crisp white plantation shutters on the dual pane windows throughout. The living room and dining room are open to a galley kitchen and a walk-through laundry room which leads to the side door and convenient garage access. A slider door off of the kitchen looks out to a huge roofed patio for lounging and entertaining. There are two standard bedrooms and an updated full bath in the front portion of the home. A spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, walk-in closet and large upscale en-suite 3/4 bath were recently added to the back of the home. This particular layout with expansive lot offer several possibilities to extend the home's personal space or to add on an ADU on as part of Downey's ADU-friendly program. The City of Downey itself is a lifestyle. It has nationally-recognized schools and an outstanding school district that has won four California “Distinguished School” awards. Downey offers a wide variety of shopping, dining, recreation, entertainment, and other activities, including Downtown Downey, Downey Civic Theatre and Symphony, Stonewood Center, Columbia Space Center, and the Rio Hondo Golf Center. Downey has several major hospitals as well including Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilition Center.
