Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, the property shows its age with significantly dated features. While the kitchen has newer stainless steel appliances, the cabinets, backsplash, and lighting are old. The bathroom is particularly outdated with very old blue wall tiles, vanity, and fixtures. Other areas feature mixed flooring and popcorn ceilings. The home is functional but requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates, including likely a full bathroom renovation and potentially central cooling, to meet modern standards.
High School: Compton Early College High (9/10).
Strategically located just one block from Downey, offering immediate access to its premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, while potentially benefiting from Paramount's value.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
