January 19, 2012 Comments Off
Windermere agent May Chu has just listed a prime location 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in the city of Monterey Park. This multi-level end unit is listed at $339,800, has great curb appeal and is well maintained. It is the first time on the market and listed by the original owner.
The home is in turnkey condition and includes brand new granite counter tops, kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, interior painting and wood floors. The open floor plan allows for bright and airy spaces and includes an attached 2 car garage. Great for commuters being that it is close to the 10, 60 and 710 freeways. It is also close to downtown LA and part of the Alhambra School District. Very convenient. Ready to move-in. This is a must see!
