Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949 and held by the same owner for 40 years, the home is significantly dated with systems like wall heaters and a pool requiring full restoration. Interior photos reveal aging finishes, including drop-ceiling tiles and wood paneling, while the description emphasizes redevelopment potential, indicating the structure needs a total rehab.
Available for the first time in 4 decades, this well-loved home offers the chance to enjoy today while exploring future redevelopment potential on an R-2 zoned lot in the South Bay. Nestled mid-block, the property offers flexibility for owner-users, investors, and those seeking a value-add opportunity. A grassy front yard accented by planting beds and a charming covered front porch creates a warm welcome. The driveway provides convenient off-street parking for 2 vehicles. Inside, the spacious living room accommodates both living and office areas and features a sliding glass door to the patio and backyard. The sunny eat-in kitchen features abundant cabinetry, terrazzo-style countertops and backsplash, a corner sink with a window outlook, pantry storage, gas range, refrigerator, and a comfortable dining area. A full hall bathroom with neutral finishes serves the living areas and 2 of the 3 bedrooms. The 1st bedroom offers a ceiling fan and generous closet space. A step-down addition creates the largest bedroom, highlighted by a beamed ceiling, closet wall, and sliding glass door to the patio and backyard. The original carport has been incorporated into the home's footprint and now provides a versatile 3rd bedroom that also functions well as a den, with a dedicated 3/4 bathroom, and a spacious workshop/utility/laundry room complete with a washer and dryer, perfect for the hobbyist. The backyard features an existing pool ready for restoration or reimagining. Adding to the appeal, the R-2 zoning may allow for future development of 2 units plus ADU/JADU opportunities, offering additional flexibility for investors and developers (Buyer to verify with the City of Lawndale). Whether your vision is to renovate and enjoy, generate rental income, land bank for the future, or explore redevelopment possibilities, this property offers options that are increasingly difficult to find. Conveniently located near Alondra Park and Golf Course, El Camino College, major transportation corridors, and aerospace employers including SpaceX, this central South Bay location places shopping, dining, entertainment, coastal attractions, Manhattan Beach, Del Amo Fashion Center, and greater Los Angeles all within easy reach.
