Constructed in 1934, this Spanish Villa has been gently restored to highlight all its original charm. Situated on an oversized lot in the highly desired neighborhood near Whittier’s Historic District, you're just minutes from the trails of Turnbull Canyon, where you will fall in love with outdoor activities and scenic overlooks. Also just minutes away are the quaint restaurants and unique shops in Uptown. Upon visiting the property, you are invited by a beautifully curated succulent and rose garden leading to the front porch of the casa revealing a salvaged vintage wood one-of-a-kind door, hand stained with chocolate cherry glaze, and crystalized with brass finishing for a stunning entrance. Use the golden latch to the open the front door and reveal the living room with exposed wood beams & original wood floors, all restored to resemble the rich warm tones of Spanish architecture. The kitchen features custom handmade Saltillo tiles imported from Mexico over the course of several months. The tiles tell a story and have unique color stains, shapes and signature marks depending on the artisan–truly a work of art, perfect for the space in the house where meals are made and shared between familia & friends. The Master suite is exceptionally large and offers sanctuary for rest and relaxation. The furnishing found beside each bedside table resemble gold jewelry; each brass dimmer is custom engraved to read: “Senor” and “Senora”. It is these subtle details that can be found all throughout this Spanish Villa. The exposed beams and strong dark tones juxtaposed against creamy plastered walls convey a dramatic sense of strength within the home’s design. The first floor is home to the Master Bedroom, Living and Dining space, Kitchen, Laundry, three secondary bedrooms and three baths. Once downstairs, you realize this property has much more to offer. The bottom half of the property is essentially a private space with a living area and bathroom with shower and private entrance from the back of the property; perfect for a mother-n-law suite or rental. The owners sought to gently restore the Spanish Villa with period specific materials, however, recent upgrades offer modern conveniences. The home features a Ring alarm system with sensors on every window, cameras installed throughout the property and a Nest that controls the dual central heating and air conditioning system. This is your perfect forever home. Come fall in love and make it your own!
