About this home

Incredible opportunity to own a turnkey, extensively upgraded single-family home in a highly desirable Alhambra neighborhood! This charming 3-bedroom, 1.25-bathroom residence perfectly blends classic 1930s character with modern luxury. Step inside to a bright, flowing floor plan highlighted by original refinished wood flooring throughout the house. The heart of the home is a fully remodeled kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, sleek quartz countertops, crisp white shaker cabinets, elegant herringbone-patterned floor tile, and a custom hexagon mosaic backsplash. The well-appointed main bathroom perfectly marries vintage charm with modern function, offering a highly requested dual-vanity sink, the original bathtub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Beyond the stunning cosmetics, the major mechanical updates have already been completed. This home boasts a newer roof and solar panel system (approx. 2 years old), a newer AC condenser, dual-pane windows, and a whole-house fan to maximize energy efficiency. Furthermore, the property features copper re-piping and a full re-wire with an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel for modern reliability. Outside, the generous 6,180 sq. ft. lot provides a fantastic, private backyard space ready for entertaining, plus a dedicated exterior outlet for an EV charger. The location is truly exceptional: the home is zoned for the highly coveted Martha Baldwin Elementary/Middle School (boasting a 9/10 GreatSchools rating) and is just a short walk to the expansive Almansor Park. Enjoy exceptional walkability to the fantastic dining and eateries along Valley Blvd. Move-in ready homes with this level of aesthetic and mechanical upgrades are incredibly rare. Don't miss out!
