    Nestled in the green hills above the Uptown Whittier District is this unique 1941 Cape Cod Style home. As you enter this single floor plan house and make a right you will enter a bedroom with its attached 3/4 bath. This area wraps back toward the laundry room and kitchen. If you go left from the entry you will encounter the living room which is adorned with a fireplace and beautiful built-in cabinets which reflect the era of the house. The formal dining room allows access to the back yard and covered patio and the door is framed by two built in cabinets. This house is full of character and charm. The house has a total of 22 windows which allow plenty of light to filter through the garden while it gives a high level of privacy that is created by the lush gardens. The primary bedroom has its own exit door to the covered patio and the backyard. The home offers a total of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The property sits right at the curve of Alta Avenue which creates a large front garden and it is adored by mature California native plants like Sage, Roses, Lavender and Lemon Grass. The house is located half a mile from the MBT trail of Whittier's Turnbull Canyon. The stunning surrounding Hills allow this home to sit on a peaceful 8,558 square foot lot. The home has been lovingly cared for by its current owners as it awaits its next transformation. The backyard is a gardener’s delight with fruit trees, as well as a covered patio. The detached garage offers plenty of room for extra toys and the long driveway gives your visitors plenty parking.
