REO - This property has gone back to the lender and must be sold! Huge price reduction. At $553 per sqft. one of the lowest $/sqft for a single family residence in Westchester and reflects its need for cosmetics and other repairs. This diamond in the rough still has good curb appeal, many improvements, and a 400 sqft detached permitted recreation room. This home sits on a mostly flat 8,900+ sqft lot. The original home was built in 1949 but per neighbors was taken down to one or two walls and completely rebuilt with major additions and renovation including 2nd story, completed around 2008. The kitchen was remodeled again around 2018. House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, plus the large detached Recreation Room with bathroom that would be a great WFH or creative space, or maybe even convert to an ADU. Dramatic double-door entry into 2-story foyer. Bottom floor bedroom wing has 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Bottom floor living space consists of a huge Great Room with coffered ceilings, giant island kitchen with breakfast bar and tons of cabinets and counterspace, direct garage access and laundry alcove. Two sets of French doors and plenty of windows open to the large fully fenced and walled rear yard, which features low-maintenance land/hardscaping and a big shade-providing pergola, making this lower floor and backyard space an entertainer’s dream and providing tons of room for your puppies to run and play all day long. Upstairs has another 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that include a huge primary suite, large walk-in closet, and large bathroom with two sinks, separate shower with bench seat, and soaking tub. French doors open the primary suite to a west-facing deck that overlooks the rear yard and lets in plenty of sunshine and coastal breezes. This home appears to have multi-zoned HVAC, tankless water heating, and is at least partially hard-wired for CCTV and computer networking, and it has no shortage of recessed lighting, light switches and electric outlets throughout. If you’re still living the WFH dream this would be a great place to do it! Prime location and very close access to 405 freeway. LAX, LMU and Playa Vista are all mostly within a 2 mile radius. 3 miles to SoFi Stadium, 7 miles to UCLA and Beverly Hills, and 10 miles to DTLA as the crow flies.
