FIRST TIME on the market in 72 years!! The same wonderful family has owned & enjoyed this home for over seven decades!! Truly an AMAZING FIXER opportunity! Bring your big, creative vision, artistry & awesome ideas & improve & transform this home located in the highly desirable neighborhood of Lakewood Mutuals & be only the SECOND OWNER since 1952!!! Sweetly nestled on a lovely, tree-lined street w/a wonderful elementary school across the street & a fantastic, wide-ranging variety of dining, shopping, entertainment, parks, golf course, other leisure & recreation & so much more, including LB Airport & freeway access, all just a leisurely stroll, skateboard ride, bike ride or quick car ride away. This east-facing home receives morning sunlight & is an obvious diamond in the rough & an incredible blank canvas all throughout. Everything is ready for reinvention in a major way & to be beautifully re-imagined inside & outside w/the proper vision & execution into a MODERN & STUNNING GEM! Capitalize on all of its outstanding potential & great bones! Many possibilities to be envisioned & expanded upon, including due diligence into the creation of an ADU for possible multi-generational living or for a tenant to potentially help subsidize your mortgage payment! Old, long-time carpeting & padding were recently pulled up & removed to help show the condition of all the hardwood floors throughout. Home, garage, attached workshop/shed & backyard were all cleaned out & vacated of all possessions & debris in order for all parties to see as much of the condition as possible during their initial showings. Living room & dining areas are spacious & open to one another w/ample windows. Kitchen has a window overlooking the covered patio & backyard. Separate inside laundry/utility room w/a convenient door out to the backyard/garage/driveway. Spacious covered patio ideal for entertaining, relaxing & al fresco dining. Detached 2-car garage w/great storage potential to be created in the rafters & a long driveway offering additional parking. Space behind the garage for even more storage. Cinder block walls along the perimeter of the backyard. Convenient access to major transit & transportation routes. Long-time owners/neighbors abound! Happy memories & a new legacy can enthusiastically be created with the beautiful transformation of this home situated in a prime neighborhood of Lakewood. Don't miss out on this terrific opportunity! We welcome & thank you so much for your interest! :)
