About This Home

As of July 2025

Nestled in a quiet and well-established neighborhood, 18531 E. Pearl Ave is a charming single-story home filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful updates. You'll fall in love with the inviting curb appeal—highlighted by beautifully landscaped front grounds, a stone-accented facade, classic white shutters, quaint lamp post, and brick planter beds—all wrapped in fresh new exterior paint. Step inside to find a refreshed interior featuring new luxury vinyl floors, fresh interior paint, upgraded baseboards, two-tone designer color palette, and custom grid windows with plantation shutters. The sunken living room is a standout, with its dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace creating a cozy yet striking focal point. The kitchen features custom soft green cabinetry, white tile countertops, new plumbing, white appliances, and a unique tray ceiling detail. The adjacent dining area includes a ceiling fan and French door that leads to the side yard for easy indoor-outdoor flow. This home offers three spacious bedrooms—two of which are connected by a large walk-in closet—while one includes sliding glass doors with direct access and views of the lush backyard, making it perfect as a restful retreat or home office. The hall bathroom is tastefully updated with wainscoting, a custom vanity, and upgraded fixtures. Recent improvements also include a new roof over the garage, a new wall heater unit, and new kitchen plumbing. The home includes an attached 1-car garage and an extended driveway, offering ample off-street parking for guests or multiple vehicles. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream: a sprawling covered patio with arched openings and stone pillars sets the tone for relaxed outdoor living. Enjoy the built-in fire pit, BBQ area with sink, mature fruit trees, raised garden planters, and thoughtfully designed brick walkways. There's plenty of open lawn space for play or relaxation, along with a dedicated storage shed area—offering flexibility for gardening, entertaining, and future expansion, including the potential for an ADU. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, and major freeways—plus just minutes from the coveted El Modena High School and other highly regarded local schools—this move-in-ready gem blends classic California character with modern comforts and outstanding potential.
