About This Home
As of December 2025Set in a quiet East Whittier neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-bath home has been owned and cared for by the same family since 2010, with nearly $200,000 invested in thoughtful updates. Over the years the property has been transformed with a new HVAC system and roofing with city permits, fresh flooring and paint, plantation shutters on all windows, a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, updated copper plumbing, water softener, new appliances, and many modern finishes that bring comfort and style. The home and its outdoor spaces are truly special: in early summer, the street transforms into a stunning canopy of purple Jacaranda blossoms, while the thoughtfully designed front and back yards offer a private oasis with flowers, fruit trees, lawns, hedges, and a small pond with waterfall. The home reflects years of consistent attention and quality improvements, offering peace of mind for its next owner. The location adds even more value, just minutes from Whittwood Town Center, parks, and highly regarded schools in the East Whittier City School District. With everyday shopping and dining close by and easy access to major freeways, this property combines convenience with community charm. A beautifully updated home in a sought-after neighborhood—don’t miss the chance to make it yours.
