This well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 2,296 square feet of living space and is on one of the larger lots currently available in the area.

Recent improvements completed within the last six years include remodeled bathrooms, dual-pane windows and a sliding glass door, two mini-split systems, new garage doors, vinyl fencing, exterior and interior paint, and updated waterproof Pergo and luxury vinyl flooring throughout. The oversized lot features a huge side yard with excellent potential for an ADU, additional outdoor living space, or future expansion.

Close proximity to highly regarded schools, including Alameda Elementary, Sussman Middle School just steps away and Downey High School approximately one mile from the property.
