Description
Located in the highly desirable Upper Vista Del Oro neighborhood of San Pedro, this stunning Spanish bungalow blends timeless 1920s charm with modern upgrades and an unmistakable Old Hollywood feel. From the nostalgic character of the front exterior to the private backyard retreat, this home offers a rare combination of warmth, style, and functionality. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,320 square feet of living space, the home showcases original mahogany hardwood floors, crystal doorknobs, and new interior paint throughout. Step into a cozy living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen and breakfast nook is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, new cabinetry, a modern backsplash, new lighting and upgraded quality appliances including a Viking range, LG refrigerator, and Kenmore dishwasher. The bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, including a spa-inspired bathroom designed for relaxation. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2024), Anderson windows, updated plumbing (early 2000s), new bathroom lighting, mini-split systems for efficient heating and cooling, solar lease for energy efficiency, a new front retaining wall, and xeriscape landscaping in the rear. Step outside to your private backyard retreat via a mudroom featuring a covered patio with jacuzzi, ambient lighting, and TV — perfect for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Enjoy a chicken coop, mature fruit trees (orange and lemon), private laundry room, and additional basement storage. A detached bonus room with fireplace offers endless possibilities as an office, gym, studio, or creative space. Above the detached garage and workshop, take in city and water/port views from your rooftop balcony — ideal for sunset watching or private sunbathing. (The rooftop deck was previously grandfathered in and is unpermitted.) Located near parks, including walking distance to Averill Park designed by renowned Central Park architect Frederick Law Olmsted, plus close proximity to schools, shopping, UCLA South Bay Campus, the soon-to-be reopened West Harbor Marketplace featuring Yamashiro’s new restaurant, live music venues, Little Italy, and the vibrant downtown arts district. Easy access to major freeways and just minutes from the LA Waterfront complete the lifestyle appeal of this exceptional property.
