Welcome to this delightful two bedroom/1 bathroom retro-chic home in the quaint McCarthy neighborhood of Gardena. This loving home has charming curb appeal with lush grassy front lawn, brick lined walkway, storybook pergola covered patio, and welcoming pop-of-color front door. The family room is enhanced by large windows allowing morning sunshine to stream in. The adjacent eat-in kitchen is spotlessly clean with tile counter tops, plenty of cabinet space, and custom built-in bench with bonus storage under the seats. The laundry room is conveniently located next to the kitchen and has additional storage space. Both bedrooms have warm hardwood flooring and windows with wooden blinds. The full bathroom has a tiled shower/tub combination and cute vanity with tile back-splash. Wait until you experience the backyard. It's a tranquil retreat with custom pergola, sitting area, fruit trees, grapevines and vegetable garden. The two car detached garage is functional yet versatile, and can be used as a workshop or an additional recreation room. Some recent upgrades include a whole house fan, new windows, and some electrical upgrades. This is a happy home in a wonderfully friendly neighborhood, that perfectly embodies what it means to participate in the American dream.
