Spacious one-story ranch home in a charming and quiet neighborhood of single family homes in Willowbrook. Loved by and expanded by one family first time on market in more than 70 years. Good opportunity for first time buyers. It has a floorplan perfect for today's lifestyle (including family/great room with breakfast bar pass-through to kitchen) and is priced to sell. The original bright living room and dining room feature hardwood floors. There are two family bedrooms plus an expansive primary bedroom (carpeted) with ensuite bathroom (featuring two sinks, separate tub and shower), and sliding doors to rear yard and patio. The large family room has a glass front bookcase / "trophy cabinet" along with a stereo and media cabinet, washer/dryer closet, and sliding glass doors to rear covered patio and fenced private yard. Two-car garage has a remote control garage door; entrance is from an extremely wide rear alley. Sale is "As Is" but house is in comfortable living condition. Buyer will likely want to do some cosmetic work (paint, wood floor refinishing) along with eventual systems upgrades to further freshen up the property. First Republic Bank offers the "Eagle Loan" program in this neighborhood (for qualified buyers with 20% down, fixed rate loan is currently 4.75%). The property is convenient to the 110 and 105 / 91 freeways, plus the Blue Line metro train, and offers an easy commute to Downtown L.A. Located just ten blocks to the picturesque, 104-acre Magic Johnson Park & Recreation Area, which has a fresh water marsh / wetlands, a brook, two lakes (which attract waterfowl like mallards and Muscovy ducks), more than 300 trees, jogging paths, drought-tolerant native-plant gardens, Kids' playgrounds and a 20,000 square foot community center. Close to Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and the highly-rated King-Drew Magnet high school.
