About This Home

As of October 2021

A PRIVATE SANCTUARY OF COMFORT AND CHARM located close enough to civilization, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of daily life to help you enjoy your free time.
Its comfortable, single level floor plan encompasses a fully remodeled, beautifully appointed kitchen equipped with top of the line custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a handy, built in, space saving breakfast nook, a spacious, open-plan living and dining area with premium, refinished hardwood floors, a warm, family fireplace which transforms the place into a cozy haven on a chilly night and a huge picture window overlooking a delightful, private yard, making it the perfect space to entertain, play or simply relax after a long day at work or school.
The layout also offers all family members much needed privacy, space and comfort with a fully remodeled, bright and breezy bathroom with a luxurious, stone, walk-in shower and custom made cabinetry great for storage, and three spacious bedrooms: a master with a huge closet and an attached half bath and two rooms with clever, built-in cabinetry - one currently used as an office and the second as a den. Whether you decide to keep them as such or use them as bedrooms again is totally up to you!

Other highlights of this charming home include: mostly double paned windows and custom window coverings, newer air conditioning, a convenient inside laundry next to the kitchen with top of the line, built in cabinetry and pull outs and a user-friendly, two car garage with a long driveway.
Brimming with lifestyle credentials, the property is located a short distance to schools, shopping destinations, cafes and the center of Covina with its colonial vibe that makes you feel immediately at home, its downtown with many vintage clothing, antique and ice cream "mom and pop" shops and the amazing San Gabriel Mountains right behind it! This truly is a special address. Come see it for yourself!
