1036 E 45th Tucked into the heart of the Bixby area, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a thoughtful blend of comfort, connection, and everyday ease. With both a living room and a family room flowing together in an open-concept layout, the home is designed for gathering—whether it’s lively celebrations, quiet evenings by the fire, or effortless entertaining with friends and family. At the center of it all is a beautifully appointed kitchen, where an expansive L-shaped island with induction cooktop and breakfast bar seating naturally becomes the hub of the home. Quartz countertops, double built-in convection ovens, and abundant custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, pull-out shelving, and a spacious pantry make this kitchen as functional as it is welcoming. The family room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the living room is wrapped in a wall of glass that looks out to the backyard and opens to a covered patio—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for hosting, relaxing, and enjoying Southern California living. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with quartz countertops and custom tile work, including a spa-like walk-in shower with rain showerhead in one bath and a tub/shower combination in the other. All of this is set within a quiet, community-oriented neighborhood, just moments from Bixby Knolls shopping, Atlantic Avenue dining, and Farmers Markets —offering the perfect balance of peaceful living with vibrant local amenities nearby.
