Property 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 in coveted Hancock Park. 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.
