About this property

Welcome to this charming Spanish-style 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,618 sq ft, where classic character meets everyday comfort. Step inside to a light-filled living room with a statement fireplace, spacious bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and central A/C and heating throughout. Outside, the long driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage previously used as a recording studio, offering great flexibility for a home office, gym, creative space, or potential future ADU, subject to buyer verification and city requirements. The home is also conveniently located in Vermont Knolls, with access to nearby shops, transit, and major South LA destinations, including the broader Inglewood/SoFi Stadium area. A standout opportunity for qualified buyers: the seller's existing 5.625% fixed-rate mortgage may be assumable, which could mean a lower monthly payment compared with financing a similar home at higher current market rates, subject to lender approval and buyer qualification.
