There is also ample space for an ADU, with the property accommodating the applicable four-foot setback. Buyer to verify plans, permits and development requirements. The West Covina Equestrian Center is approximately 3.3 miles away, offering convenient proximity to the local equestrian community.
Inside, approximately 2,850 sq ft offers a spacious floor plan. The home is clean and well maintained, while offering an opportunity for the next owner to update and personalize the interiors to their own taste. The living room features a brick fireplace, while the large family room features oak hardwood flooring and a stone fireplace and opens directly to the pool and patio, creating an inviting connection between indoor and outdoor living. A versatile bonus room, originally configured as two bedrooms and remodeled into one large open space, offers flexibility for an office, studio, media room or potential bedroom conversion.
The outdoor setting is designed for both entertaining and enjoying the natural surroundings. A pool with raised spa and rock waterfall is complemented by a covered patio, creating a comfortable setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the pool, a concrete patio bordered with flagstone extends towards a path leading to a picnic area beneath mature trees.
