Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the home spans 2,199 square feet of light filled living space on a 5,002 square foot lot, blending timeless character w/ modern comfort. Inside, rich red oak hardwood floors flow throughout, beautifully complemented by exposed wood beams and detailed wood baseboards that bring warmth to every room. The home has been extensively upgraded w/ all new major systems, including a new HVAC system with AC, furnace, ducting, and whole house air filtration, a new roof, updated electrical w/ new outlets and recessed lighting, and new plumbing fixtures throughout. The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned, featuring new maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a new refrigerator, and an induction range. A brand-new mahogany front door sets a welcoming tone, while new French doors at the rear open to a beautifully hardscaped backyard framed by mature, storybook trees, offering a private and serene outdoor retreat. Additional highlights include a fully waterproofed primary balcony w/ new redwood railing, an upgraded garage w/ custom style garage doors and epoxy flooring, a repaved driveway w/ new drainage, new redwood fencing, and a dedicated laundry room w/ new cabinetry. Every thoughtfully crafted improvement has been carefully considered, resulting in a truly turnkey Playa del Rey home and homes of this level of quality, care, and character rarely come to market in this area.
