Property Description
Downey 90240. First time on the market since 1986. This elegant classic single story is located in one of Downey's most sought after neighborhoods. Gainford St is in a tract known for wide quiet streets and mid-century California Ranch homes. With no sidewalks and a flowing front yard, beautiful shade trees, planters, mature shrubs, the curb appeal is outstanding and provides a warm and inviting sense of home. Once inside you will find an interior that was re-engineered to provide comfortable living with the charm of the decade intact. The "bones" and layout are excellent with oversized rooms and great views from the living areas with plenty of windows to bring in natural light. If you are seeking a true blank canvas to practice your art of design, you have found the perfect home. The interior has been freshly painted with bare floors ready to finish to your taste. With only minor repairs and replacements the home is ready to occupy or go all out and rebuild, without paying for the cheap "flip" upgrades so common in the market today. As a special bonus, there is also a permitted room addition to the rear of the garage which is ready for possible ADU conversion. AS with all truly special homes, this one will not last long, call today for a private tour.
