This exceptional custom estate in Friendly Hills is situated on one of Whittier's most coveted streets. The single-level ranch home creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, highlighted by stunning hardwood floors throughout the main living area and three elegant fireplaces with custom built-ins—located in the formal living room, formal dining room, and family room with bar. The kitchen boasts beautiful white cabinetry with ample storage, Corian countertops, an island with seating, and a dedicated desk area. You'll love the primary suite, a luxurious retreat featuring extensive closet space, a private sitting area for applying your makeup and curling your hair, and direct access to the inviting backyard, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while listening to the birds sing. The property includes a two-car front-facing garage, an extra-long side driveway leading to a four-car garage, and a dedicated craft/hobby room with its own entrance.
The expansive yard is divided into two sections: the upper yard, located just off the main living area, features a covered patio and brick walkways, while the lower yard holds potential for development, such as a pickleball court, swimming pool, or accessory dwelling unit for the mother-in-law. This ranch-style home presents limitless possibilities and is one of the few homes with such extensive amenities in the area. Come and see for yourself, discover the endless possibilities this home offers, and be captivated by its unique charm.
