The story
Welcome to 1316 N Chester Ave, a meticulously upgraded 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary blending refined modern finishes with exceptional outdoor living in one of Inglewood's most vibrant and connected neighborhoods. The curb appeal commands attention with a composite wood front porch nestled among a drought-tolerant native front garden featuring Foxtail Agave, French Lavender, Blueblossom, Yarrow, Rosemary, Yellow Bells, Texas Ranger, and White Sage. Inside, light fills an open layout anchored by rich engineered hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and new Milgard windows (2020-2023) outfitted with custom motorized shades in the living, dining, and sleeping quarters. At the center of the home, the updated kitchen delivers crisp shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, floating display shelves, a built-in Lazy Susan, and dedicated pantry storage. The primary suite serves as a quiet retreat, featuring French doors that open directly to the outdoor grounds. The backyard is framed by a perimeter wood privacy fence (2020) and ambient exterior sconce lighting. A dedicated fire pit zone is bordered by a mature Olive tree, cascading Bougainvillea, and Fragrant Sage, all maintained by an automatic irrigation system. A highlight of the property is the 360-square-foot detached garage conversion into a den/office. Outfitted with acoustic sound-dampening drywall, a mini-split AC/heat system, a dedicated electrical panel, chandelier lighting, and a sliding glass door, this flex space offers a turn-key solution for remote work, a recording studio, or a private media lounge. Situated blocks from North Park (0.3 mi), Edward Vincent Park and pool (0.5 mi), and the Inglewood Pump Track (0.7 mi), the home belongs to an active community known for annual block events and holiday gatherings. Enjoy immediate access to dining staples like Jon & Vinny's, Two Hommes, Sunday Gravy, and Sommerville, while living 10 minutes from SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum, and the Intuit Dome, and 20 minutes from LAX.
