About This Home

As of May 2023

Less than two blocks to the Expo Line train stop, moments from the Natural History Museum, California Science Center, the California African-American Museum and the highly anticipated Lucas Museum, this Exposition Park gem just won't last. Offering so much more than location, this newly remodeled bungalow pairs interior Craftsman charm with smart updates, including a new roof, central air and more. The living room is anchored by an original fireplace and timeless built-ins, which lure you into a bright dining room complete with wainscoting and a convenient breakfast bar. The updated chef's kitchen opens onto a newly built deck and spacious backyard. The lovely primary bedroom offers an en-suite bath and is centered between two guest bedrooms and a guest bath. If you crave additional living space, at-home studio, or an opportunity to generate rental income, plans have been submitted for an additional 775 square foot ADU, and these will be sold with the property. A fully gated yard offers privacy while you find rest and relaxation perched on your new front porch. Minutes from West Adams, Culver City + DTLA, now's your chance to call this one home.
