Beautiful home in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Whittier on a quiet tree lined street. This charming house has so much character pictures don't do it justice. You have to come see it for yourself. It's absolutely beautiful. The house sits on a HUGE almost 10,000 square foot lot. The home boasts exquisite hardwood floors, with new flooring in the kitchen, bathroom, bonus room, and laundry room. When you enter this lovely home, you walk into a huge formal living room with plenty of natural light coming in from the new windows, and a gorgeous fireplace. There is a large traditional dining room adjacent to the kitchen. Next to the dining room is a nice sized bonus room that could easily be used as an extra room or an office. It leads out to a large, covered patio. The home has central air conditioning and new ceiling fans throughout. There is a separate laundry room inside the house. The rooms have large closets, and there is plenty of cabinets and storage throughout the house. As beautiful as this home is, the true appeal is the huge lot. There is plenty of room to add on, or to add an ADU. The detached garage has water and gas lines, ready to be converted into an ADU. Back yard is so big there's plenty of room for RV parking. You have to come see it for yourself before it's too late. At this price in this neighborhood, this one won't last.
