About this home

Very function cottage in Beverly Hills area. Great flow amplified by the garage conversion creating a split plan layout with third bedroom. Nice foyer entry, sunny Living room and center seated Kitchen . Nice size dining nook, Washer/Dryer (can stay in wanted) off mud room. The lot is modest in size yet lives large. Very level front and rear space with Pedestrian gate and Double Width gate access on either side to rear. Mature landscape buffer of Laylan Cyprus, Rose of Sharon and mature hardwood trees border this parcel for shade and privacy. Strip of privacy fence out front and fully fenced rear yard (also privacy fence) offer a great place to spend time and entertain. Location is urban but ever so convenient! Large detached storage building (also may stay). Home has desirable Natural Gas Furnace and Central AC. Month to Month tenants paying $1300 would love to stay but are prepared to be out with 30 days notice. No Wake Buoy in front yard and Half Pipe in rear do not convey...
