If you’ve been waiting for a move-in ready, beautifully updated home with a separate 420 sq. ft. permitted ADU with separate entrance and address (1152 W. 48th) , this is it. Located in the heart of Vermont Square, this large 4-bedroom, 3-bath Craftsman (2,362 sq. ft.) has been thoughtfully renovated and welcomes you with a massive front porch complete with porch swing and rocking chairs. Inside, you’ll find a spacious open living and family room that flows into a large formal dining area, creating an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, great functionality with excellent storage, and a built-in custom pantry closet, while the California basement provides additional storage space. The flexible floor plan includes one bedroom and one full bath downstairs, with three additional bedrooms and two baths upstairs. The spacious primary suite includes a private bath plus an adjoining bonus area that works beautifully as an office, dressing room, nursery, craft room, or extra closet space. The other two upstairs bedrooms share a front balcony, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying the sunset in the evening. The entire house has been outfitted with custom Norman honeycomb cord-free light-filtering shades, with blackout versions in all of the bedrooms. In addition, every bedroom has a built-in custom closet system. The backyard feels like a hidden retreat, complete with lush mature landscaping, striking custom murals (from legendary local artists Cache and Alfonso Garcia, and internationally-renowned artist fnnch), a push-button gas fire pit, and an outdoor movie screen for unforgettable backyard movie nights. The detached ADU (built in 2021), delivered empty but previously rented for $1750/month, offers 420 square feet of charm and versatility. This thoughtfully designed 1-bedroom, 1-bath includes a full kitchen, its own washer/dryer and mini-split, built-in custom closet system, ample storage, and its own mini front porch and back patio spaces, making it ideal for guests, rental income (with separate gas and electric meters), or a private workspace. Plus it’s own backyard. In the main house, major system updates include earthquake retrofit, newer plumbing lines, newer water heater (replaced in August 2021), 200-amp electrical panel, and a new heater for the second floor. Set across from the quaint Vermont Square Branch Library (one of 3 remaining original Carnegie libraries, opened in 1913), this home is in one of South LA’s hidden gems, known for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and unbeatable convenience. Walkable (1-1.5 miles) to USC, the LA Memorial Coliseum, BMO Stadium, Expo Park, and surrounding museums (including the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, opening this fall), and a short drive from downtown and Crypto.com Arena as well as the Forum, SoFi Stadium, and Intuit Dome. You’re also moments from the Expo Line for easy Metro access to Downtown LA and Santa Monica, close to neighborhood favorites like Somerville, Hilltop Coffee, South LA Cafe, and Jon & Vinny’s. Jefferson Park, Leimert Park, weekend farmers markets, and community events at Vermont Square Park complete the neighborhood’s special appeal.
