Property Description
A Rare 1930 Spanish Revival Gem with Timeless Character and Modern Comforts. This residence boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an architectural story that unfolds at every turn. The living room sets the stage with a wood-burning fireplace, dramatic picture windows, a charming window seat with hidden storage, and an original built-in secretary desk. French doors with original hardware open gracefully into the dining room, creating a seamless flow for gatherings. Throughout the original structure, plaster walls remain intact, preserving the home's authentic character. The kitchen and original bath have been tastefully remodeled, preserving charm while offering everyday functionality. A significant 1990 addition expanded the home to include a versatile fourth bedroom with a private balcony (currently serving as a home office), a laundry room, a basement retreat perfect for entertaining or work, and an expansive owner's suite. This owner's retreat features a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, a custom walk-in closet, a spa-like bath with clawfoot tub, a skylight, and its own wood-burning fireplace. Sliding doors lead to a covered deck overlooking the patio, complete with a water fountain and string lights for enchanting evenings. Looking over the private backyard lined with string lights secluded from the outside world, it is an entertainer's dream. The previous owners installed solar panels and updated the electrical service box. Recent updates bring peace of mind: seismic bracing and foundation reinforcement (2023), termite treatment with warranty, new landscaping front and rear with gated entry, new dishwasher 2025), updated bath fixtures 2025), carpeting in the basement 2022), & pest-proofing (2022). The rear yard showcases a stately mulberry tree shading the paver patio and fountain, along with three mature trees (grapefruit, macadamia nut, and lime), and three younger trees, yet fruit-bearing, one being a lemon and two peach trees. The front yard, lush landscaping includes birds of paradise, a large mature plumeria, crepe myrtle, magnolia, and a striking Golden Trumpet tree. Located on one of the last streets served by The Whittier Cruiser, an all-electric shuttle connecting you to Uptown Whittier, Rodeo 72 Public Market, and more, the home offers unbeatable convenience. Parks and trails are nearby, including Hellman Wilderness Park and the Whittier Greenway, while I-605 access is less than 10 minutes away.
