Description
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this exceptional home delivers something buyers rarely find in one package: true architectural charm paired with the kind of infrastructure most people never think to ask about, until it's too late. The current owners, a construction inspector and his family, didn't simply renovate this home. They re-engineered it for decades of worry-free living, executing a permitted modernization of the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems while carefully preserving the property's original architectural character. From the permitted primary suite addition to the complete utility system overhaul, every improvement reflects a level of technical precision rarely seen in a residential remodel.

Inside, original hardwood floors meet a clean, modern kitchen built for real use, not just for show. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, complete with its own morning bar, while the rest of the home has been thoughtfully tuned to support the rhythm of a growing family.

Step outside and the same meticulous care continues. The backyard is set up for low-maintenance entertaining with smart lighting, and the garage is fully finished, air conditioned, and equipped with an EV charging station, a rare and increasingly sought-after feature. Set on an expansive corner lot, the property offers rare privacy and convenience, framed by a private courtyard and high fencing, with a unique layout that allows direct access from the garage straight into the backyard, without ever crossing the driveway. The lot's superior orientation also creates excellent potential for an ADU or JADU, offering flexibility for extended family, rental income, or a dedicated home office.

Location adds another layer of value. You're just minutes from major freeways, Lakewood Center, Cerritos Mall, grocery stores, and Long Beach Towne Center, plus a genuinely walkable stroll to neighborhood schools, local parks, and the scenic West San Gabriel River Parkway Nature Trail.

Backed by a rigorous program of permitted improvements and ongoing inspection, this move-in-ready home is as structurally sound as it is beautiful, fully prepped for its next chapter. Schedule your private showing today.
