Description

243 S Formosa is a beautifully maintained single-story residence offering 3 bedrooms plus a den (optional 4th bedroom) and 3.5 bathrooms, ideally situated on a tree-lined street located in the desirable Third Street School District. The home seamlessly blends timeless original character with thoughtfully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms designed for modern living. Step through the character-rich front door into an inviting entry with an arched alcove that opens to a stunning living room, where a bay picture window immediately draws the eye. Refinished original hardwood floors throughout add warmth, depth, and charm. The beautifully reimagined kitchen was renovated in 2023 with a rich, tasteful aesthetic and exceptional storage. Adjacent to the dining area is a cozy family room that opens directly to the backyard, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite features a private bathroom, walk-in closet, and French doors leading to the patio. Secondary bedrooms are equally well-appointed, each offering comfort and rare-for-the-area storage, including custom closets completed in 2024. The layout is impressively functional and well balanced. A detached garage provides flexible space for a guest room, office, studio, and an additional large storage room. The expansive backyard (room for a large pool) is hedged for privacy and features terracotta-tiled patios, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Truly move-in ready, this home offers exceptional flow, generous outdoor space, and outstanding closet storage an uncommon find at this price point in Hancock Park. Ideal for a first-time buyer, those seeking to downsize to a single-level home, or anyone looking for a special residence in a premier location. A home with wonderful energy and a place you'll be proud to call your own.
