About This Home

As of March 2025

This delightful single-story home in Covina exudes pride of ownership, lovingly maintained by the same owner for nearly 60 years. Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the home offers 1,369 sq. ft. of living space with a well-designed layout, ideal for family living and future room additions.

The beautifully manicured front lawn sets the stage for this well-kept residence.

The kitchen retains its original tile, impeccably preserved, while all bedrooms are generously sized and equipped with ceiling fans. Updates include newer windows, screened exterior doors perfect for enjoying California's warm days and evenings, and the absence of popcorn ceilings. A whole-house fan adds extra comfort during hot summer days.

Storage is abundant both inside and outside the home. The expansive backyard provides plenty of space for children to play, with a mix of grassy and concrete areas ready to be transformed into your personal oasis. The spacious backyard also offers potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with the proper city permits.

The long driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, perfect for entertaining friends and family, and leads to a detached garage behind secure gates. The garage includes a roll-up rear door, ideal for additional vehicles or RV storage. Two heavy-duty storage units in the backyard offer ample room for tools and other belongings, while a covered patio adds extra storage and outdoor relaxation space. NO ACCESS TO GARAGE FOR NOW, SELLER IS REMOVING PERSONAL ITEMS BEFORE SHOWING.

Conveniently located to Covina schools and district field, short drive or long walk to downtown Covina with shops, restaurants and entertainment. Easy access to 10/57/210 and 605 freeway.

This home is truly a gem, offering comfort, convenience, and endless possibilities!
