About this House

What's unique:Oversized primary suiteDetached two-car garageGenerously sized closetNewer roofFormal dining roomSpacious floor plan
RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH POTENTIAL TO BUILD UP TO 5 ADDITIONAL UNITS! Situated on a huge lot in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County—not the City of Compton—so no City of Compton pre-sale inspection is required. This completely rehabbed property offers an exceptional combination of move-in-ready living and future development potential. Major improvements include a newer roof, dual-pane vinyl windows, copper and PEX re-piping, partial sewer line upgrades, and wrought-iron window bars that were recently sandblasted and powder-coated.
Step inside to a beautifully remodeled, open and airy interior featuring a brand-new kitchen with all-wood Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, and new ENERGY STAR® stainless-steel GE appliances. The spacious floor plan includes a formal dining room, separate living room and family room, making this home ideal for entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Additional upgrades include smooth, acoustic-free ceilings, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, oversized baseboards, brand-new six-panel interior doors, an inside laundry room, and abundant storage throughout. The oversized primary suite is a standout, offering its own full bathroom, sitting area, and generously sized closet.
Outside, you'll find a detached two-car garage, extra-long driveway with parking for numerous vehicles and potential RV parking, plus an expansive open lot offering tremendous possibilities for future development. Whether you're an owner-user, investor, or developer, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a beautifully renovated home today while exploring the potential for additional units in the future. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Buyer and buyer's agent to independently verify zoning, development potential, allowable number of units, permits, jurisdiction, and all other property information with Los Angeles County and the appropriate governmental agencies.
