More Insights

Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, the property has received significant functional upgrades since 2021, including new HVAC ducting, full copper re-plumbing, and newer windows, which are excellent for major systems. The kitchen features 'refreshed' cabinetry and newer flooring, making it functional and clean, but the white appliances, laminate countertops, and overall style remain dated. Both bathrooms are notably outdated in terms of vanities, fixtures, lighting, and flooring, showing clear signs of age. While major systems are well-maintained, the aesthetic elements in the kitchen and bathrooms, along with some dated light fixtures and the condition of the outdoor BBQ area, indicate that minor updates are required to meet current standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.

About this home

Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in desirable East Whittier, this charming single-story home offers comfort, functionality, and flexibility. The property is currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence and features a spacious layout with abundant natural light throughout. Since purchasing the home in 2021, the current owner has completed several meaningful upgrades, including replacement of all HVAC ducting, a full copper re-plumb of the home, and refreshed kitchen cabinetry and flooring, enhancing both efficiency and everyday living. Originally constructed as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, the floor plan was modified by a prior owner to create an expanded dining area by removing a wall from the bedroom nearest the kitchen. This space offers flexibility, and a future owner may explore restoring the original third bedroom configuration if desired (buyer to verify feasibility, permits, and requirements with the appropriate professionals). Additional features include central air and heat, original hardwood flooring, newer windows, and a two-car attached garage with laundry area and built-in workbench. The manicured front and rear yards with mature trees provide inviting outdoor spaces for relaxation or entertaining. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, including Whittwood Mall and Whittier Boulevard, all within approximately one mile. A wonderful opportunity to own a well-maintained home with versatile living space in a sought-after neighborhood. ***Be sure to view the VIRTUAL TOUR by clicking on the 360 degree link above***
