A rare opportunity to purchase a great home in a desirable neighborhood of Monterey Park. Family owned since new in 1947. 2 bedrooms with one bathroom, a large living room with fireplace, and a formal dining room. Hardwood floors, wall to wall carpeting (likely hardwood underneath). Indoor laundry room with a wall mounted fold down ironing board, wall heater, and multiple window air conditioners. Tile flooring in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Dual closets in the larger of the 2 bedrooms. Significant improvements include: newer copper plumbing, 100 amp main panel added in 2006, remodeled kitchen with newer cabinetry and tile counter tops, and newer dual pane vinyl clad windows. The building in back adds approximately 200 sf. It is not permitted but has been grandfathered in (check with the city). It does have electricity but no water. It can be useful space for whatever your needs may be. Parking is abundant with a detached 2 car garage with a long concrete driveway. City permits required for curbside parking due to East LA College within walking distance- this eliminates student parking in front of the home. Walk to Belvedere Aquatic Center and Park. There is a skate park too, something for everyone!
