1408 251st street

Back on market due to buyer non-performance - no fault of the property. Recently upgraded with a complete repipe, new drain lines, and new HVAC ducting, this thoughtfully improved Mid-Century home combines timeless design with meaningful behind-the-walls improvements. Tucked away behind private gates, 1408 251st feels more like a private retreat than a typical Harbor City home. A rare double-backyard configuration, rear alley access, and detached two-car garage with plumbing already in place create exceptional ADU potential (buyer to verify), making the property equally well suited for multigenerational living, a home office, studio, guest quarters, or future rental income. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass-lined hallways flood the home with natural light. The reimagined kitchen features a large island, abundant cabinetry, brand-new appliances, and flows effortlessly into the main living spaces, while oversized sliding doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living. The private primary suite offers a peaceful escape, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. Outside, multiple outdoor living areas create a true backyard oasis with room to entertain, garden, relax, or simply enjoy the privacy. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its Mid-Century roots, 1408 251st offers the rare combination of architectural character, major system upgrades, exceptional flexibility, and a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find.
