Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1912, this historic Craftsman is explicitly marketed as a 'restoration project' and 'blank canvas.' While the property has received essential system upgrades (roof, plumbing, and electrical panel), the interior living spaces, kitchen, and bathrooms are significantly dated and require a full rehab to meet modern standards.
This 1912 Craftsman retains its original character with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and built-in cabinetry, offering a rare and authentic foundation for a high-value restoration.
Situated in the heart of the Historic Uptown Whittier District, the property is just steps away from local boutiques, dining, and parks, ensuring strong long-term desirability and lifestyle appeal.
The spacious lot and detached garage provide excellent opportunities for ADU conversion or a Junior ADU, offering significant potential for rental income or multigenerational living.
The property was recently sold within the past year on 2026-06-26. The sold price is $625,000.00.
Marketed as a 'blank canvas' restoration project, the home requires significant interior modernization and cosmetic investment to bring it up to contemporary standards.
With only one bathroom serving a three-bedroom residence, the current layout is below modern buyer expectations and likely necessitates a costly floor plan reconfiguration.
