This is the kind of opportunity that does not come along very often in La Mirada. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-story home sitting on a generous lot in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The home is largely in its original condition, which means it is ready for someone with vision to come in and make it their own. The roof has already been replaced, so the big-ticket exterior item is done. A covered patio in the back opens to a large yard with mature fruit trees, raised planter beds, and plenty of space to create something really special outdoors. Speaking of space there is a separate workshop area located in the back of the 2 car garage which is a perfect place to set up a spot for your favorite hobbies or utilize for extra storage. But here is what really sets this property apart: the location. You are steps away from La Mirada Community Regional Park, one of the most loved parks in Los Angeles County, with a duck pond, sports courts, playgrounds, and wide open green space. If you have kids, right next door is Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center, an 18-acre waterpark and aquatics facility that people drive from neighboring cities just to visit. La Mirada Creek Park and Oak Creek Park are also close by, offering peaceful walking trails and some of the best outdoor space in the area. If you enjoy culture and entertainment, the Tony-nominated La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts is just minutes away, hosting Broadway shows, concerts, and a children's theater program that the LA Times called one of the best Broadway-style venues in Southern California. For everyday life, grocery stores, well-reviewed local restaurants, and easy freeway access to the 5, 91, and 605 are all right there. This home is perfect for a buyer who wants to build equity by putting in some work, or a small family or couple looking to plant roots in a community that has a lot going for it. If you have been waiting for a chance to buy in La Mirada at a price that gives you room to grow, this is it!
