Description

Striking 1936 Spanish-style home on a corner lot in the heart of West Whittier. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 2,040 square feet of character and space that modern builds simply cannot replicate. The upstairs primary suite is the showpiece: a large retreat with sweeping vaulted wood-planked ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, a private bathroom with a separate vanity area, and a balcony. The main level delivers the classic Spanish details buyers search this neighborhood for: arched doorways, a beautiful arched picture window that floods the formal living room with natural light, and a wood-burning fireplace. The galley kitchen features hand-laid Spanish tile and ample cabinetry. A formal dining room and separate breakfast room give real flexibility for daily living and entertaining. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a family room, and a dedicated home office round out the first floor. Updates within the last five years include a new roof, dual-pane windows, and central heating and air conditioning. The home features fully owned solar panels with no lease or transfer obligations, a meaningful reduction in monthly energy costs from day one. Wood flooring throughout. The 6,118 square foot corner lot provides four covered parking spaces between a detached two-car garage and a covered carport, plus a detached bonus room with its own bathroom and private entry from the rear alley, ideal for a home gym, studio, or guest quarters. Located minutes from the I-605, I-5, and CA-60 freeways with direct access to Downtown LA, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Walking distance to Sorensen Park and Sorensen Library. Close to Pio Pico State Historic Park, Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, Uptown Whittier dining and shopping, and the Greenway Bike Trail along the San Gabriel River. Served by Whittier Union High School District. Nearby schools include Sorensen Elementary, Katherine Edwards Middle, and Whittier High School.
