Set on a quiet street in La Habra Heights, this charming single-story three-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends traditional character with fresh, modern updates. The inviting facade features crisp paint, manicured hedges, and a welcoming front lawn, creating instant curb appeal. Inside, sunlight fills the spacious living room through a wide picture window, highlighting the newly installed luxury vinyl plank flooring and neutral color palette. An additional family room with a white stone fireplace opens to the backyard through sliding glass doors, providing a comfortable space for entertaining or quiet evenings by the fire. The kitchen retains its classic charm with tiled countertops, breakfast bar seating, and ample cabinetry, while thoughtful updates--including new hardware, fixtures, and flooring--add a clean, contemporary feel. Each bedroom offers generous proportions and plenty of natural light, and both bathrooms have been refreshed with modern finishes, updated lighting, and stylish black fixtures. Outside, the large backyard provides endless potential, featuring a covered patio and a broad, open area ideal for gardening, play, or future expansion. A two-car attached garage and a long driveway add everyday convenience. Located just minutes from Whittier Blvd's shops, restaurants, and local parks, this La Habra Heights residence combines space, comfort, and opportunity in one desirable package.
