With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this two-story gem is a haven for both grand entertaining and everyday living. The moment you step through the door, you are greeted by an inviting entryway of classic Saltillo tile, which transitions into the original but timeless & fully-restored oak hardwood floors.

The backyard offers plentiful gardening and patio space for relaxing or entertaining, and is shaded by an abundant grapefruit tree, which began its life as a mere seed lovingly planted by the family nearly 70 years ago. The detached 2-car garage presents an ideal space for extended family living. The home is positioned within the prestigious Alhambra Unified School District, and finds itself just a short distance from the vibrant dining and shopping of downtown Alhambra. This home, cherished for many years, is ready to welcome a new family to experience and enjoy its warmth and comforts for years to come.
