Property Description

Turnkey 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom pool home in Northeast Downey, available for the first time at 9029 Mel Dar Avenue, Downey, CA 90240. This remodeled single-story ranch sits on a wide, grassy lot with a long concrete driveway, an attached one-car garage, and classic board-and-batten cottage trim. Inside, an open layout connects the living room, separate dining area, and updated kitchen, all finished with easy-care tile flooring, fresh white paint, recessed lighting, and energy-efficient ductless mini-split AC and heating in every room. The remodeled kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stainless steel sink, and a sunlit breakfast nook with direct backyard access. Two bedrooms include ceiling fans, mini-split climate control, and closet storage, served by a full bathroom with a tub-shower combination and tiled surround. The showstopper is the private backyard: a sparkling in-ground swimming pool wrapped in new paver decking, framed by a spacious lawn, a covered patio for outdoor dining, and full vinyl privacy fencing — a low-maintenance entertainer's yard rarely found at this price. Set in the prestigious 90240 pocket of Northeast Downey, this move-in-ready home offers quick access to the I-5 freeway, Telegraph Road, Downtown Downey, Stonewood Center, and the Downey Unified School District, with minutes to dining, parks, and commuter routes to Los Angeles and Orange County. Offered below recent Downey 90240 sale medians and expected to generate strong demand, this turnkey pool home invites multiple offers — schedule your private showing early and submit your highest and best before it's gone.
