About This Home

Stunning, mid-century modern home in highly desirable South Gate with views you must see to believe! If you could have picked one of the best lots in South Gate back in the 1960’s this may have been it. The two-bedroom plus office, two bath home sits on a bluff overlooking a wide portion of Philippi Creek including a large aquatic preserve. You’ll be mesmerized by long, unobstructed views in every direction. A nature lovers delight and absolutely intoxicating. But while location is important, there are many more features in this classic home to consider. Entering through the large foyer you’ll immediately notice beautiful terrazzo floors throughout and a great room with vaulted ceilings. There’s an adjacent dining area off the kitchen and all of these spaces look out through what appears to be a “wall of glass” dedicated to the world class view of flora and fauna. The primary bedroom also has views and access to the back yard and the primary bathroom has been upgraded with a separate tub and walk in shower. The den/office can be made more private with sliding pocket doors and function as a guest bedroom. It even has a dedicated, enclosed patio and garden space. There’s an attached, oversized garage with room for your workshop and a double wide driveway with plenty of parking. While this home has been appropriately updated and improved over the years you’ll find it’s all been done with a great sensibility to the original intent, quality and “hipness” so many are learning to appreciate, again.
