Welcome to San Marco, a pristine gated community of 21 single-family homes, built in 2006, and the best-kept secret in the South Bay. Fall in love with the privacy of this corner-lot large home with tasteful upgrades throughout. Enter a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and natural sunlight from large windows, giving this haven a bright and expansive feel. Enhanced by the gleaming floors, tall 96” doors, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans, this open floor plan home has everything you need to enjoy Southern California living. In the summertime, cool off with coastal breezes on the patio or upstairs balcony. In winter, enjoy the welcoming ambiance of the fireplace as you relax and unwind or entertain family and friends. The large kitchen, a chef and baker’s delight, has upgraded appliances, a built-in pantry, maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and newer ceramic tiled floor. Choose to eat at the breakfast bar or in the dining area that opens to the newly landscaped backyard, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining, BBQs, and more. The sizable primary bedroom features cathedral ceilings, walk-in closet, and private balcony, perfect for viewing fireworks on July 4th. Enjoy the en suite's luxurious spa bathtub, large glass shower enclosure, double sink vanity, and a separate toilet room. Conveniently located upstairs is a large laundry room with storage and ample counter space (washer & dryer included). Multiple options exist for home office spaces while working remotely, including an upstairs loft area with a built-in desk, or repurposing one of the bedrooms. The direct access 2-car garage includes storage space and shelving and this home is one of only 4 in the complex with a designated additional parking space (3 spaces total), and the possibility to have another car parked in front of the garage door. A community park with a playground, grassy area, and additional guest parking completes the well-thought-out design of this complex. Easy access to the 105 and 405 freeways makes your work commute easier, and you're also close to shopping, dining, the Kia Forum, Sofi Stadium, LAX Airport, local beaches, and all that the South Bay has to offer! San Marco offers the security of living within a gated complex with controlled access and has a low HOA. Hawthorne, the first home of Marilyn Monroe, the Beach Boys, and SPACE X, invites you to make it your home too. ~ View the virtual 360° tour and make an appointment to visit this elegant home today!
