Pride of ownership is evident throughout this beautifully maintained, quality-built 1923 California bungalow with Craftsman details, offered for sale for the first time in three generations. Situated on an expansive corner lot, this spacious single-level 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence blends authentic period charm with comfortable everyday living. As you enter the gated front yard, a wide shaded front porch welcomes you into a warm and inviting interior filled with natural light. The generous living/dining room features large picture windows, original hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, vintage glass doorknobs, decorative door lintels, and a classic brick fireplace with a traditional mantel. The bright kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, impeccably preserved vintage tile countertops with a distinctive red accent trim, and charming period details including original bread drawers and a built-in ventilated cooling cabinet with mesh shelving. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a spacious primary bedroom with an entire wall of closet space and an adjoining half bath. The second bedroom is filled with natural light from multiple windows, while the third bedroom is privately situated at the end of the hallway. The oversized full hallway bathroom offers generous counter space, abundant storage, and a tub/shower combination. Adjacent to the kitchen, the separate laundry room/pantry provide additional storage and convenient access to the backyard. The outdoor spaces are equally inviting as the interior, with a covered rear patio ideal for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or recreation. The expansive backyard showcases mature drought-tolerant landscaping, concrete parking pads accommodating up to four additional vehicles, a detached one-car garage, and a separate storage shed. The oversized lot presents excellent possibilities for future expansion or a potential ADU (buyer to verify with city). Side-street driveway access offers flexibility for additional entry options or future ADU access. Conveniently located within walking distance to Barnes Park and just minutes from the 10, 710, and 60 freeways, and a short drive to downtown Alhambra and Valley Boulevard, this rare property offers historic character, exceptional care, and outstanding potential in one of the Monterey Park’s established neighborhoods.
