Description
Don't miss this opportunity to own this lovely Victorian home. Built in 1892, this home has been beautifully maintained through the years. The prior owner received an award from the Whittier Conservancy in 2001 for the design consistency of the garage rebuild. It was designed to blend with the architecture of the main house. The prior garage was a single car structure. Presently, a portion of the garage is being used as a one bedroom, one bath, apartment which is tenant occupied. Home features include: remodeled front porch, beveled/leaded glass front door (believed to be oak) high ceilings, corner hutch, dining room chandelier, living room stained glass windows, mahogony bookcases flanking the fireplace, mahogony wainscoting in the rear parlor, mahogony floors in the lower level, upstairs the wood floor is oak. Both baths has been remodeled; Kohler fixtures, newer toilets, basketweave tile floor, marble counter, subway shower tile, GFI's, +. Newer pex plumbing throughout - no galvanized; new hot water heater (40 gal); drain line to sewer replaced; fresh paint in most of the house. Kitchen remodeled about 10 yrs ago; Corian countertops; Custom cabinets - Shaker Design - auto closing/lazy susan; Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrig, Sharp microwave; oversized porcelain dbl sink; oak floors installed; all appliances replaced at that time. Wall board, tin splash....all in keeping with the homes character. Forced air heating; wall/window A/C. Indoor laundry is closeted in the back parlor space. All bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom has a walkin closet & an ensuite with a jacuzzi tub. Exiting the house from the parlor room deck, the custom fencing & arched gateway lead you to a professionally designed rear yard with brick walkways, patio, gazebo, porch & deck, flower beds & fruit trees that are all part of the ambiance of the backyard.

On the side and back of the garage structure are entrances to the single story apartment that is currently tenant occupied. It is a one bedroom, one full bath with a kitchenette.
