1408 251st St Harbor City, CA 90710

Tucked away behind private gates, 1408 251st feels less like a typical Harbor City home and more like your own secluded Mid-Century retreat. From the moment you arrive, there's an unmistakable sense of privacy and calm, enhanced by the rare double backyard layout, rear alley access, and an indoor-outdoor flow that invites you to slow down and enjoy the space around you. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass-lined hallways, creating a sun-soaked atmosphere. The main living area is the heart of the property, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings framed by a quintessential statement fireplace, adding timeless Mid-Century character. Whether you're hosting friends for dinner, enjoying a quiet night in, or spending slow weekend mornings at home, the space was designed to feel inviting and connected. The reimagined kitchen was designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering a sizable island, abundant cabinet space, brand-new appliances, and a seamless connection to the surrounding living spaces. Large sliding doors open to the outdoors, blurring the line between inside and out and making the backyard feel like a natural extension of the home. Privately situated away from the main entertaining spaces, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with direct connection to the home's indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Generous in scale, it creates the perfect environment to unwind at the end of the day. The additional two bedrooms are both sizable and versatile, ideal for family, guests, a home office, or creative space, while the secondary bathroom has been thoughtfully updated to blend functionality with the home's cohesive design aesthetic. Outside, the experience continues with multiple outdoor spaces that feel private, peaceful, and expansive. Whether it's dining under the stars, creating a garden escape, entertaining around a fire pit, or simply enjoying the quiet of your own tucked-away oasis, the property offers a lifestyle that's difficult to find at this price point. Adding even more versatility is the detached two-car garage w/ alley access and plumbing already in place for a possible future ADU conversion (btv), opening the door for guest quarters, creative space, or additional income potential. Thoughtfully updated while still honoring its architectural roots, The one delivers the rare combination of character, privacy, warmth, and livability. Every space feels intentional, welcoming, and easy to unwind.
