About 1220 E 40th Place
The front residence presents excellent curb appeal with a professionally manicured front lawn and welcoming exterior that sets the tone for a move-in ready home. Inside, the property features a beautifully remodeled kitchen and updated bathroom offering modern finishes and immediate functionality for an owner-occupant or investor. The interior offers a flexible floor plan with multiple enclosed rooms, creating a layout that can be adapted to a variety of needs. While tax records reflect 2 bedrooms, the home currently features several additional rooms with windows and exterior access (buyer to verify legality, permits, and use). Located directly across the street from the Historic Ralph Bunche residence, the property also offers strong long-term upside potential. The home has been owner-occupied and is tenant-free*, making it ready for immediate use. In addition, the property includes a detached rear bonus structure with immense potential for an **ADU, studio, or creative workspace (buyer to verify possibilities).
