If you've been waiting for a move-in ready home that actually has character, this is it! Sitting in the heart of Vermont Square, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman has been fully renovated without losing the details that make it special -- the wrap-around front porch, the original stained glass windows, the built-in cabinetry in the dining room, the wainscoting. It's all here, waiting for you to add a porch swing and sip some lemonade! Enter into a large, open living room/formal dining featuring high beamed ceilings and cozy fireplace. It is the kind of room people linger in -- anchored by the original built-ins, it works just as nicely for a Tuesday dinner as it does for a holiday crowd. The kitchen opens into an additional seating area that can also serve as a casual dining area and has been updated thoughtfully: custom wood cabinetry, quartz counters, a big pantry, a peninsula, and all new stainless appliances. So much storagebut hidden from the main living space complementing the original architectural style. The primary bedroom has its own bath and opens directly to the backyard, which has been freshly landscaped. The other three bedrooms are genuinely spacious with high ceilings -- use them however you need. The hall bath is clean and updated. Everything behind the walls has been addressed too: new plumbing lines, 200-amp electrical panel, new HVAC, tankless water heater, newer roof. The kind of list that lets you buy with confidence. The detached garage is large and has real ADU potential if you want to explore that down the road. Vermont Square is one of South LA's hidden gems, offering tree-lined streets, a tight-knit community, and incredible convenience. You're moments from Expo Line access for easy commuting to downtown LA or Santa Monica, surrounded by local favorites like Hotville Chicken, Hilltop Coffee, and the vibrant energy of nearby Jefferson Park and Leimert Park. You're just around the corner from parks, weekend farmers markets, community events at Normandie Park, and the historic Vermont Square Branch Library creating a true neighborhood feel - welcome home!
