Sewer connections are conveniently located just a few feet away for a cost-effective conversion. The property backs to an alley, meaning you only have one adjacent neighbor—a very rare find that enhances privacy. There’s also an enclosed area perfect for a garden, small RV, boat, or toy storage. The entire property is surrounded by newer vinyl and block fencing, adding both privacy and curb appeal. Don’t miss this truly rare opportunity to own a versatile, income-producing property in one of Gardena’s most sought-after neighborhoods!
