1408 251st StreetHarbor 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 configuration, rear alley access, and exceptional future ADU potential (buyer to verify). With a detached two-car garage positioned at the rear of the property, alley access, and plumbing already in place, the property presents a unique opportunity for future guest quarters, multigenerational living, a home office, studio, or rental. Combined with the expansive outdoor space, it offers a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass-lined hallways, creating a warm, sun-soaked atmosphere throughout. The main living area serves as the heart of the home, anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings and a statement fireplace that pays homage to the property's Mid-Century roots. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a quiet evening, or savoring a slow weekend morning, the space feels both inviting and effortlessly connected.
The reimagined kitchen was designed with everyday living and entertaining in mind, featuring a sizable island, abundant cabinetry, brand-new appliances, and a seamless relationship with 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 access to the home's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, it's the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or creative pursuits, while the secondary bathroom has been thoughtfully updated to complement the home's cohesive design.
Outside, multiple outdoor living spaces create the feeling of a private compound. Whether it's dining under the stars, gathering around a fire pit, cultivating a garden, or simply enjoying the quiet of your own tucked-away oasis, the setting offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the city around it.
Thoughtfully updated while honoring its architectural roots, 1408 251st delivers the rare combination of character, privacy, warmth, future potential, and livability.
