Surrounded by mature greenery, the yard features fruit-bearing mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit trees, along with a flourishing passionfruit vine that adds charm and character to the outdoor space. A long gated driveway leads to a detached garage, offering ample parking and exciting potential for a future ADU, creative studio, home office, or guest space. Adding to the home’s versatility, 1849 W 38th Street is also one of the few homes in the neighborhood with direct alley access, a rare and valuable feature that enhances both convenience and long-term potential. Located just minutes from USC, BMO Stadium, the LA Memorial Coliseum, and Science Center, the home also places you near some of LA’s favorite local destinations including Apollonia's Pizzeria, Cento Pasta Bar, Halfday Coffee, Cafe 5, Holbox, and Maydan Market. Offering a rare combination of warmth, functionality, outdoor space, and central access, this home captures the essence of comfortable Los Angeles living.
