Description

Tucked away on a charming street in Downey, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a versatile flex space is full of character, warmth, and opportunity. Lovingly owned by the same family since the 1960s, it has been the backdrop for decades of cherished memories. Now, it's ready for its next chapter. With solid bones and timeless appeal, this home offers the perfect canvas for a new owner to make it their own. The flexible layout lives larger than expected, easily accommodating work-from-home needs, a playroom, guest space, formal dining / entertainment room or additional living area. Thoughtful features add to its appeal, including original hardwood floors, a spacious primary ensuite with walk-in closet, a bright all-white galley kitchen, and a main bathroom complete with dual vanity and soaking tub. Outside, through the brand new sliders, enjoy a low-maintenance backyard complete with an exceptionally fruitful lemon tree, plus a detached two-car garage with exciting ADU potential. Tucked away in a peaceful location, you'll appreciate being just a short stroll from E.W. Ward Elementary School, public transit, shopping, and neighborhood dining. Brimming with potential, this is a rare opportunity to create a home that honors its past while embracing your vision for the future.
