Property Description

Situated on nearly half an acre in Whittier's Friendly Hills neighborhood- a glass walled modernist compound that effectively turns its back to the street. Past a perimeter block wall and 10' tall double door entryway, a serene and private courtyard greets your arrival. Two pathways traverse a shallow reflecting pond water feature; one leads to the 2,310 SF 3 BD/2 BA main residence, the other to a nearly 500 SF guest house/studio/potential ADU. Extraordinarily, both structures were built utilizing poured in place concrete walls amidst wood post & beam supported ceilings. In the main residence, floor to ceiling glass walls and sliding doors lead out to an expansive backyard. Spider leg beams visually extend the interior spaces outward and shelter the concrete and cedar patio. Mature eucalyptus trees provide a dramatic backdrop. The island kitchen has been renovated with custom teak cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top of line appliances. Bathrooms have been outfitted with sleek contemporary fixtures and floor to ceiling Porcelanosa tile. Another central courtyard with gas fire pit and outdoor dining area provides an alternative entrance to the guest/studio and its laundry room + 3/4 bath. A towering carport fronted by garage door offers covered and secured parking for 2-3 cars and a wall of built-in storage. The meandering circular driveway provides room for at least 6 more cars. A spectacular estate sized architectural property in Whittier's most desirable neighborhood.
