Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained but shows signs of age consistent with its 1944 build date. While the kitchen and bathroom have received partial updates including granite countertops and a tiled shower, other elements like the wall heater, popcorn ceilings, and older fixtures are outdated. It is move-in ready but requires minor cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
The property features a 375 sq ft detached structure and additional garage conversion potential, offering significant opportunities for rental income or multi-generational living.
A generous 6,450 sq ft lot with a large concrete backyard and covered patio provides ample space for outdoor entertaining, storage, and future development.
Situated near Uptown Whittier, local parks, and schools, the home offers a highly desirable location with easy access to dining, shopping, and major commuting routes.
With only 988 sq ft of living area and a single bathroom for three bedrooms, the layout may feel restrictive for modern family requirements.
The property is sold as-is, and the detached studio is currently permitted only as storage, requiring the buyer to address potential permitting discrepancies and renovation costs.
