Nestled in the coveted Vets Memorial Park neighborhood, 10738 Barman Avenue stands as a rare legacy home - rich in character, refreshed for today, and ready for its next chapter. Originally owned and cherished by a Los Angeles blacksmith in the 1950s, the property still showcases his artisan touch through custom ironwork, including handcrafted driveway gate fixtures and ornate crawl space screens. Held by the same family for generations, this home has been lovingly renewed to highlight its historic soul and enduring quality. Inside, the three-bedroom, one-bath residence glows with natural light and warmth.

The dining room, framed by shuttered doors, sits gracefully between the living area and the kitchen, perfect for gatherings or intimate dinners. The bright, refreshed kitchen features a cheerful breakfast nook wrapped in windows, a brand-new range, and a greenhouse window overlooking the lush backyard. White tile countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, and custom moldings add warmth and personality, while a pantry room with a second sink and direct access to the gated driveway make daily life effortlessly convenient. Each bedroom is generously sized and bathed in natural light, offering privacy and tranquility. The vintage-style bathroom features beautiful tile walls, a separate tub and shower, and a built-in storage cabinet - ready to enjoy as is or personalize to taste. Outside, the newly fenced backyard invites relaxation and connection, with lush green grass, a paver patio for lounging, and a separate dining area ideal for entertaining.
