Perched above the street on one of Uptown Whittier’s desirable view-lined blocks, this 1923 Craftsman bungalow pairs historic charm with modern livability. Recognized by the Whittier Beautification Awards and showcased in city events, the home stands out immediately with its inviting front porch—an incredible spot to take in sweeping vistas stretching across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and character. Hardwood floors, preserved stained glass windows, and classic Craftsman details anchor the main living areas. The updated kitchen blends vintage style with contemporary touches, offering stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, built-ins, and a cozy breakfast nook. The floor plan includes four well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the upstairs suite enjoying abundant natural light thanks to a thoughtfully designed skylight feature. A standout of the property is the expansive bonus room at the rear of the home. With its high ceilings and generous footprint, it has inspired countless ideas from visitors—whether as a studio, creative workspace, media room, or potential separate living area. The detached two-car garage offers similar possibilities, especially with its refreshed roof and clean structure, making it an appealing candidate for a future workshop or conversion project. The home has also benefited from a series of meaningful upgrades completed in 2024 and 2025. Recent improvements include newly installed drainage and sewer lines, updated AC ducting, comprehensive pest management, a replaced garage roof, and a serviced above-ground spa fitted with a brand new custom cover. These updates bring confidence and comfort to the home’s next chapter. Surrounded by mature landscaping and located just moments from Uptown’s restaurants, shops, and the Whittier Greenway Trail, this home offers a rare blend of history, character, views, and potential—all in one of Whittier’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
