What a rare gem this home is, lovingly cared for by one family since it was first built in 1955, where a lifetime of memories was created and preserved with pride. Meticulously maintained over the decades, it beautifully retains its authentic mid-century charm while offering comfort & warmth. This inviting 4 bedroom, 2 bath home offers 1,177 SQFT of living space on a generous 7,210 SQFT lot, featuring a spacious park-like backyard with a covered patio and extra-tall block wall fencing for added privacy, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. It boasts delightful curb appeal with artificial lawn, manicured gardens, a long sweeping driveway with ample parking, a recently painted front porch, plus a 5-year-new roof and exterior paint. Step inside to a welcoming entry with tile flooring that flows into a sunlit, family-style eat-in kitchen filled with vintage character, showcasing beautifully refinished natural wood cabinetry, classic and cheerful orange Formica countertops, and a highly sought-after O'Keefe & Merritt gas range with 4 burners & griddle-a true collector's piece. The spacious living room offers 3-year-new carpet and a full wall of expansive wood-framed windows and a door overlooking the backyard, flooding the space with natural light. All the rest of the windows throughout the home have been upgraded to dual pane, many with exterior awnings that help protect interiors from sun & fading. Both bathrooms feature tile flooring & updated vanities; one includes an oversized walk-in shower w/newer surround, while the other offers a tub/shower combo, and both are equipped with multiple grab bars, making this home ideal for accessibility with no interior steps. Significant recent upgrades include $30K in plumbing and sewer line replacement completed just three months ago, a 3-month-new water heater, newer water softener (leased), added rain gutters for improved drainage, and a 2-year-new refrigerator. A convenient door from the kitchen leads to a second patio situated between the home and the detached 2-car garage-an ideal space for outdoor cooking and easy indoor-outdoor flow, with laundry hookups, shelving, and attic storage located in the garage. Ideally located within the HB Union School District and close to excellent schools, shopping, dining, parks, and the 405 & 22 freeways. Just minutes to Little Saigon and 15-20 minutes to the beach, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly cherished home that blends timeless character with thoughtful care.
