4507 W 142nd Street, Hawthorne, CA 90250

Built in 1947 and updated with a designer's eye, this three-bedroom, two-bath Hawthorne home keeps the character buyers look for and finishes they won't want to change. Inside, original arched doorways and warm hardwood floors carry you through light-filled rooms with an easy flow. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with distinctive tile and well-chosen fixtures, and even the laundry room has been designed to be a pleasure to use. A versatile garage gives you room for a workshop, studio, gym or serious storage. Outside, the approximately 5,800-square-foot lot is the real showstopper. Mature greenery frames a private backyard set up for coffee in the morning, dinners off the grill and long evenings in an Adirondack chair. There's room to host a crowd or simply enjoy the quiet. The location puts you minutes from El Segundo's shops and restaurants, South Bay beaches, SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum and LAX, while still feeling tucked away. Character homes on lots this size are hard to find...
