Check out this charming Craftsman/California Bungalow with its endless potential in an up-and-coming neighborhood! This three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom home is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Featuring original woodwork in the dining room and ceiling, now painted but rich in history, this home exudes character and craftsmanship. There is a decorative fireplace in the living room. The den that is off the living room could be a home office, a cozy reading room, or it could be used as a first-floor bedroom. The kitchen, which needs a complete makeover, is near the guest bathroom and laundry area, while upstairs, there are three bedrooms, and a full bath which are tucked away from the public areas to provide uninterrupted privacy. Throughout the home, you'll find quaint Craftsman-style details, lovely nooks and crannies, and delightful surprises that add to its personality. While it needs quite a bit of work, this property is truly a diamond in the rough! It's a great opportunity for investors or owner-users with the vision and skill to restore it to its original splendor or reimagine it altogether! Outside, the spacious backyard offers limitless potential, ready to be redesigned to suit your needs, and there's a garage, but it is in extremely poor condition! This property is close to major transportation, LAX, Culver City, shopping, restaurants, Leimert Park & Village and is just a short distance from the Kenneth Hahn Park & Recreational Center, which offers approximately 401 acres of scenic beauty, which includes the LA Basin and the mountains. There is a fishing lake, a lotus pond, walking and hiking trails, and the iconic "13-mile Park to Playa Trail", which connects the Baldwin Hills parklands to the Pacific Ocean. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to bring this neglected gem back to life and make it your own!
