About This Home
As of November 2025Here is your chance to own an opportunity-priced, vintage 1920s Craftsman home located in the highly sought-after Hadley-Greenleaf Historic District of Uptown Whittier. Bursting with curb appeal and exterior historic character, this 2-on-a-lot property is full of potential and ready for you to customize with your own palette.
The front home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a walk-out basement with a laundry room, and three additional bonus rooms – perfect for a home office, studio, or extra storage. The charming front porch overlooks a tree-lined street and manicured lawn.
The rear home offers two rooms on the first floor, an upstairs with the main living area, and an attached storage garage. Sitting on a well-designed 7,000 sq. ft. lot, the layout ensures both privacy and flexible use of space. The extended driveway provides room for ample parking, playing, and entertaining.
Location is everything and you're just moments away from Central Park, where you can enjoy community concerts, and a short stroll to the vibrant Greenleaf Promenade – home to unique restaurants, the historic Starlight Cinema, craft breweries, and boutique shops.
For outdoor enthusiasts, nearby Hellman Park and Turnbull Canyon offer miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. And when you're not in the mood to walk, hop on the Whittier Cruiser, a free electric shuttle service that makes getting around a breeze.
Don’t miss your chance to "paint the town on Painter Ave." and turn this rare opportunity into your dream home in Uptown Whittier!
