As you enter from the covered porch, you'll immediately be impressed with the immense living room replete with gleaming hardwood floors (which are in most of the home), regal red brick fireplace with mantle, recessed lighting, plantation shutters and crown molding. The kitchen opens to the dining area and is an entertainer's delight with quartz counters, both a breakfast counter and nook, stainless appliances, gas stove, tile flooring and abundant natural light. There's also a convenient half bath adjacent to the kitchen and 140sq.ft. basement that has a tremendous amount of storage potential. All three bedrooms are generously sized and offer substantial closet space. The separate family room, adjacent to the laundry room with wall-to-wall storage, can also be the perfect office, playroom or media room. The home boasts a 2-car direct access garage plus a 3-car carport with plenty of room for additional guest parking throughout the long driveway that has an automatic driveway gate. Other features include energy efficient split system air conditioning, water purification and softening systems, mature fruit trees, hardwood floors, moldings and plantation shutters throughout. Located just minutes from Temple City schools, parks, shopping centers and freeways, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, modern upgrades and convenience.
