Discover a hidden gem in Wynnefield! Rexford Road is a charming cul-de-sac street with 16 wide 1920s Tudor style rowhomes on either side of tree-lined center island and generous “pull in” parking. The homes have deep front gardens. This home’s garden has extensive perennial trees and low plantings, providing a unfolding view of color and greenery from spring through fall, with low maintenance. Even more endearing than the physical charm is the deep sense of community. There is an active and welcoming community organization with neighbors who care deeply about the well- being of Rexford Rd and the local community. The long-time owner is sad to be moving from her dear neighbors as she downsizes, and hopes the next owner will enjoy many happy years living on Rexford Road.
