1833 Armacost Ave First time on the market in decades! Nestled on an oversized 7, 552 square foot LAR1 lot (52'x145' per assessor) in a desirable mid-block location close to Stoner Park, Riot Games, Gelson's and the Bundy Expo Light Rail Station, this moody mid-century traditional marvelously marries meticulous design with modernized updates. Custom fencing, specimen landscaping including mature Sago Palms and a gigantic Japanese Maple tree and a stylish concrete driveway with pebble accents frame the phenomenal curb appeal and a charming covered front porch adds character. Anchored by a brick fireplace and bathed in natural light, the welcoming living room opens to the formal dining area and is adjacent to the retro chic kitchen punctuated by stainless appliances and a checkerboard floor. Three generous bedrooms share an upgraded bath featuring a floating vanity, frameless shower with linear drain, and wall mounted Duravit toilet, while the rear primary suite off the laundry room could function like a JADU with its own private entrance. Redone electrical, plumbing, dual-paned windows and a seismically bolted foundation will add reassurance, and original Hardwood floors are an ode to yesteryear. A detached 2-car garage with a separate storage room along with a large concrete patio perfect for dining al-fresco highlights the rear yard, complete with a Bamboo "forest" and mature Persimmon tree. Developers will love the oversized lot dimensions and the fact that it has never been rented along with comparables showing that rebuilt properties on similar lot sizes consistently sell above $3m in the nearby vicinity. A phenomenal opportunity for anyone seeking a move-in ready starter home on a jumbo parcel moments from Santa Monica, Brentwood, Westwood, and Sawtelle Japantown's best shopping and dining venues! Dare to compare!
