Downey Home For Sale
Classic mid-century modern pool home on the market for the first time since it was built 1955. This lovingly cared for home was designed by sellers’ parents and has remained in the family ever since. It is one of very few custom homes in the highly desirable Charloma Estates neighborhood. A spacious open kitchen with room for dining opens to a living room with fireplace and an adjoining family room, offering a fabulous flow and floorplan for large gatherings. Off the kitchen is a large formal dining room that can function as an office or 4th bedroom. The primary suite is quite large with plenty of closets and storage space and a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with glass tile and walk in shower. Other 2 bedrooms are good-sized with beautiful original hardwood floors and lots of closets, storage, and built-ins. A hallway bathroom with double sinks and shower/tub services these two bedrooms. Off the kitchen is a huge service porch/laundry room with a sink, plenty of cabinets and storage (including an original 8-ft birch bookcase relocated from living room to service porch for a fabulous pantry!) and a pass-through window to the family room for entertaining. Some of this home's beautiful and well maintained original vintage features include: the slate floor entry, gorgeous hardwood floors, functioning birch pocket doors, pristine pink tile in bathroom, mint green tile in service porch, and Arizona flagstone on fireplace hearth and front yard planter beds. Upgraded features include: En-suite bathroom in primary bedroom, chic powder room off living room, Brazilian cherry wood floors in formal dining room/office/4th bedroom, Bosch dishwasher, new vinyl fence and pool tiles. An entertainer’s dream, with double sliding doors from family room out to the large patio, inviting pool, lush landscaping (sago, yucca palms; seedless lime tree, 15 rose bushes, hibiscus and plumeria) and unique Tiki bar. A large side patio could also serve as parking for a boat or 3rd car via a drive-through garage. Situated in a quiet private and well established neighborhood with no one behind you, as it backs up to elementary school playground, surrounded by trees and a view of local mountains. This epic house has created a "fortune in memories" spanning 70 years, and is now ready for a new buyer to call it home. Known for great schools and accessibility to both LA and OC, Downey is 17 miles to DTLA and 30 minutes to Disneyland and LAX.
