Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…this highly-sought Spanish gem in trendy Sunset Park boasts a front courtyard, 3 beds/2 baths + den, abundant windows with serene natural lighting, and almost 7000sf lot. Great for owner-occupier ready to make it their own, or for anyone interested in creating rental income as well: rear den and primary bedroom suite could become a separate apartment with private entrance, leaving a large 2bd/1ba unit in the front; possibility for an ADU behind the detached garage; ample off-street parking, even if you convert the garage to an ADU.
This lovely home hasn’t been on the market in over 60 years and retains many vintage features, yet the updated kitchen makes it instantly livable. (Bathrooms are functional but need your touch). With almost 1500 sf of living space, beautiful arches, a fireplace, long driveway, and a charming backyard that could become your private oasis, this begs for large gatherings, cozy holiday celebrations, and intimate dinner parties.
It’s an easy stroll to Ocean Park Blvd, with convenient shops, hip restaurants, and the famous Bob’s market. Desirable Santa Monica schools and Santa Monica College are a short walk. Marine Park and Clover Park are nearby, and the beach beckons, just over 1 mile away.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity. It will go fast! See reports in Supplements. See private notes for offer instructions.
