What great curb appeal on this meticulously updated & maintained rancher in the heart of Whittier! Your front yard includes mesquite & olive specimen trees as well as drought-tolerant plants with an automatic drip irrigation system. Step inside your custom solid Alder front door to find a modern open floorplan with beautiful hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace and lots of natural light. Your cook's kitchen features ceramic plank tiles, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom solid maple cabinetry with deep cabinets, lazy susans & pull-out pantry drawers. You also have a large peninsula with a breakfast bar that overlooks the formal dining area. This summer you'll spend lots of time out on the covered back patio admiring your fenced-in slice of paradise. This landscaped yard looks amazing and boasts multiple garden beds plumbed for drip irrigation. The best part: Mature fruit trees that have been producing for more than 20 years. You have kumquat, tangelo, mandarin, eureka lemon, fig, desert peach & two orange (Navel, Valencia) trees in the backyard. Wow! Back inside, the master ensuite includes tumbled marble floors, a walk-in shower and a vanity with a granite countertop and lots of storage. Down the hall, all the guest rooms have hardwood floors and the common bathroom includes a travertine-topped vanity with dual sinks and a custom-tiled tub surround.

This home has also been wired with FiOS and has surround-sound speakers installed throughout – including on the patio. Plus, you have a newer HVAC system, R38 attic insulation and a “smart” Nest thermostat, all of which keep utility bills low. Don't forget about all the storage in the side-entry garage.

This is a quiet, walkable neighborhood close to top-tier schools, parks, shopping & dining. You have easy access to numerous freeways, with Disney just 20 minutes to the South. LAX & downtown LA are less than 45 minutes away!
