Charming 3 bed, 2 bath home on a spacious 7,763 sq ft LAR3 zoned lot, set on a peaceful block directly across from Helen Keller Park with its community pool, baseball diamond, basketball courts, and playground. Bordering the South Bay city of Gardena, this home is ready for its next chapter.
The main entrance is located on the side of the home, keeping the living space completely separate from the two-car garage. Inside, fresh paint and new vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms give the home a clean, move-in ready feel. Vaulted ceilings add a sense of openness throughout. The kitchen features dark wood cabinetry, tile countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a breakfast bar open to the living area. Marble-look tile flows through the dining room and kitchen. One bathroom includes a jetted soaking tub, the other offers a full tub surround with decorative tile. A ductless mini-split system keeps the house comfortable year round, and a water softening system is already in place.
Step outside to a covered patio and a backyard with real room to enjoy. Whether it's weekend cookouts, a play area, or plans for an ADU, the lot size and LAR3 zoning say yes. The two car garage with opener adds even more flexibility, with conversion potential for those thinking ahead.
First-time buyer, growing family, or investor with vision, wherever you are on the journey, this home is ready to move forward with you. Parks, freeways, and transit all within close reach. The foundation is here. The rest is yours to build.
