About This Home
As of August 2025Cottage Revival Charmer in the Heart of Old Town La Verne. Welcome to 2280 Bonita Avenue—a beautifully restored and thoughtfully upgraded 3-bedroom, 2-bath home that showcases the best of Cottage Revival architecture with a perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Ideally located within walking distance to Downtown La Verne, the University of La Verne, and an array of local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, this home offers a lifestyle as inviting as its curb appeal. Step onto the wraparound porch and into a space filled with character and warmth. Inside, you will find a remodeled kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, and ample cabinetry. The bathrooms are equally impressive with decorative tile, vintage clawfoot tub, sinks, and light fixtures. Throughout the home, original details have been lovingly preserved—including solid wood pocket doors, vintage door hardware, double-hung windows, and period light fixtures, all of which reflect the home’s early 20th-century charm. Major system upgrades include a new HVAC system, copper plumbing, and an upgraded electrical panel. Outdoors, the private yard is designed for entertaining with turf landscaping, mature hedges, vinyl fencing, and cafe lighting. As an added bonus, this home may qualify for the Mills Act, offering significant property tax savings for owners of historically significant homes. With its rare combination of architectural beauty, modern functionality, and financial incentive, 2280 Bonita Avenue is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of La Verne.
