It is an ideal acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or first-time buyers seeking a flexible, coastal-adjacent asset in Signal Hill.
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1948 but has undergone significant renovations that appear to be within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features granite countertops and updated cabinetry, and the home includes modern touches like recessed lighting and wood flooring. It is well-maintained and move-in ready.
The spacious corner lot and attached garage offer significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing a rare opportunity for rental income or multi-generational living in a high-demand area.
This 1948 cottage has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, recessed lighting, and wood flooring, successfully blending original character with the modern finishes today's buyers expect.
Situated in a desirable Signal Hill neighborhood without the burden of HOA fees, this property offers a detached alternative to condo living while maintaining proximity to coastal amenities and major commuter routes.
At only 805 square feet with a single bathroom, the home's compact footprint may limit its appeal to larger families or buyers seeking more substantial living space.
Being 'back on the market' after 48 days can sometimes trigger buyer caution regarding previous inspection results or financing hurdles encountered during the prior escrow period.
