This lovely 4-bedroom/1.5 bath home with its rustic cottage feel is located just off a greenbelt of hiking trails in a secure and serene residential neighborhood of Monterey Park, close to excellent schools and several area parks. As you enter this home through its doorway you are welcomed by the vaulted ceiling, the polished hardwood floors lead to a spacious living room with an open architecture floorplan that flows into the adjoining dining room with space for an office, a library or a sitting area. Just beyond the open living area is a set of sliding glass doors that open to a large covered patio that looks out on greenery through the fenced backyard. The kitchen lies just off the dining room with its pantry, laundry area and a half-bath. Down the hallway, you'll find three bedrooms, each with built-in shelves and plenty of closet space, plus a full bath. Just a few stairs above the living area is the fourth bedroom, which can also serve as a large recreation room. It's location, above the two-car attached garage, offers added privacy and comfort along with great views of the greenbelt. This home is just a short drive from downtown Los Angeles, Cal State, L.A., USC Medical Center, and a variety of great restaurants and entertainment.
