About This Home
As of May 2025Nestled in a beautifully landscaped 7-unit complex, this rare ground-level front facing gem offers the perfect blend of 1940s charm and modern convenience. Surrounded by lush, mature foliage, this front-facing unit provides privacy and a tranquil, garden-like setting. Step inside to find original hardwood floors, oversized windows on three sides, and French doors that flood the space with natural light and invite in cool ocean breezes. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from the airy living room to a tiled kitchen patio—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Updated bathroom, custom closets, and thoughtful upgrades throughout make this home as functional as it is stylish. Spacious side patio off the kitchen great for dog owners and morning coffee. Enjoy the convenience of 2 parking spaces, one in and one out of a shared two-car garage with good storage. All from a private driveway accessed from the alley. Located on the peaceful and picturesque 800 block of 12th Street, this unique street features a rare sidewalk greenbelt lined with palms. Just steps from the heart of Montana Avenue's vibrant dining and shopping scene, including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and boutique favorites. You're also less than a mile to Palisades Park, the Promenade, and the Metro line—making this home an easy canvas for any lifestyle.
