Move-in ready, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom starter home ideal for first-time home buyers looking to put down roots in the desirable Los Angeles 90022 pocket, adjacent to Montebello. Offering approximately 1,181 sq ft of functional living space, this beautifully improved property has been extensively remodeled and upgraded, with major system and structural improvements that give the home a newer-construction feel. The renovation included an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, refreshed interior and exterior finishes, dual-pane windows, recessed lighting, plumbing updates, central AC and heat, updated flooring, and fresh stucco and paint. The home also features an expanded primary bedroom suite addition (approx. 386 sq ft) with a private bath and oversized closet, creating a spacious and comfortable retreat. The updated kitchen designed for inspired chefs features quartz-style countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a designer vent hood, recessed lighting, and a center island workspace that opens to a bright living area ideal for cooking and entertaining. In-home laundry adds everyday convenience. Secondary bedrooms offer flexible use for guests, a nursery, or work-from-home needs. Both bathrooms showcase modern vanities and refreshed finishes, including a glass-enclosed shower with designer tile detail. Enjoy a private backyard built for year-round outdoor living with patio areas, decorative pavers, garden beds, ambient string lighting, and a mature lemon tree — perfect for relaxing evenings and weekend gatherings. The newer detached 2-car garage (built in 2017) is currently set up as an artist workshop, making it ideal for creative, studio, or live/work buyers, while still retaining traditional garage function. A long driveway provides space for multiple additional vehicles — parking is not an issue here. Possible ADU or conversion potential (buyer to verify). Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, parks, and major commuter routes/freeways 5, 710, 60, 10.
