From the moment you arrive, you will absolutely love this completely remodeled Craftsman home in up-and-coming Chesterfield Square. Designed for multiple uses, this property has the potential for use as one large home, or two smaller, complete units. The home includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths + an office off the large master bedroom. It also features a separate, insulated building that could be outfitted as a guest house. A gorgeous marble fireplace creates a dramatic centerpiece for the inviting living room. New kitchen and appliances, and new flooring and windows throughout. Additional customizations include a wet bar, built-in vanity area/desk, marble floors, custom lighting and ceiling fans, large master bedroom with huge walk-in closet, full laundry room, and a bathtub encased in granite. Parking is never an issue with the detached garage in back and the gated, two-car driveway in front. Ideal location within walking distance of shopping and parks, and close to USC and the new Rams stadium.
