Beautifully maintained and updated 3 bed/2 bath home situated in a highly sought after neighborhood within the city of Cerritos. Built by an architect and developer of many distinctive Orange County homes from the 1960's onward; quality of construction and well designed spaces were their signature. A spacious living room greets you at the entry with large picture windows that flood the space with light. The dining area and kitchen share an open plan that is connected to the rear yard and patio through sliding door. In the recently updated kitchen you will find a well organized workspace and quartz countertops. The floor plan is a thoughtful distribution of space- placing all three bedrooms off a central hallway with a guest bath. Primary bedroom with its own en-suite bath faces the private rear yard. Updated forced air heating, central cooling, and double pane windows throughout. The property backs up to a landscape nursery and as such feels exceptionally private. A rare opportunity in one of the city's most desirable locations- just a few blocks from the Los Cerritos Center, within a highly rated school district, and in close proximity to many excellent restaurants and amenities.
