Description

MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION. Classic mid-century modern pool home in desirable North Downey neighborhood of Charloma Estates. As you enter the foyer, you're greeted by stunning slate tile floor and beautiful view of the tropical backyard and pool. The large light-filled living room features a skylight and fireplace and is connected by artistic archway to adjoining family room. The spacious open kitchen connects to both the living room and family room, offering an excellent flow for large gatherings. Next to the kitchen is a large formal dining room, which can double as a private office or 4th bedroom through solid birch pocket doors ensuring exceptional quiet and privacy. The roomy primary suite provides ample closets and storage space, along with an elegant en-suite bathroom featuring glass tile and a walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms are generously sized with beautiful original hardwood floors, plenty of closets, storage, and built-ins. A full hallway bathroom with double sinks and a shower/tub serves these two bedrooms. The home includes a large service porch/laundry room with a sink and numerous cabinets, making it an excellent butler’s pantry with a pass-through window to the family room. This home retains its beautiful, well-maintained original features, such as the slate floor entry, hardwood floors, birch pocket doors, pristine tilework in the bathroom and service porch, and Arizona flagstone on the fireplace hearth and front yard planter beds. Upgraded features include the bathroom in the primary bedroom, the guest bath off the living room, Brazilian cherry wood floors in the dining room/office/fourth bedroom, a Bosch dishwasher, new vinyl fence, and pool tiles. Double sliding doors from the family room to the backyard seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, making this home an entertainer’s dream. The large patio, inviting pool, lush landscaping (including sago and yucca palms, a seedless lime tree, rose bushes, hibiscus, and plumeria), and unique Tiki bar enhance the outdoor experience. A large side patio can also serve as parking for a boat or third car via a drive-through garage. Situated in a quiet, private, and well-established neighborhood with no neighbors behind, this home backs up to a large elementary school playground, surrounded by trees and offering views of the local mountains. Known for its excellent school district and accessibility to both LA and OC, Downey is just 17 miles from DTLA and 30 minutes from Disneyland and LAX.
