Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1914, this property is well-preserved but significantly dated. The kitchen features older cabinetry, laminate counters, and wallpaper, while the living areas contain aging green carpeting. While functional and move-in ready, the home requires cosmetic updates and likely system modernizations (HVAC/Electric) given its 110-year age and lack of recent renovation history.
Situated directly across from Central Park in iconic Uptown Whittier, this property offers exceptional walkability to vibrant shops and restaurants in a highly filmed and prestigious neighborhood.
The home preserves its 1914 architectural integrity with original hardwood crown moldings, built-in cabinetry with stained glass details, and a classic brick fireplace.
Rare for a historic district, the property includes a detached 2-car garage, dedicated RV parking with cemented access, and a large basement suitable for a wine cellar or workshop.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
The property is marketed as an opportunity to 'personalize,' suggesting that the kitchen and living utilities likely require significant capital investment to meet modern standards.
