211 E Virginia Ave, Glendora, CA 91741

Property Description

Step into one of Glendora’s most iconic residences — a radiant 1885 Queen Anne “Painted Lady,” part of the city’s cherished Twin Houses and featured in the 1950s television series Meet McGraw. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath historic treasure blends Victorian craftsmanship with modern comfort. From its storybook white picket fence and vivid turquoise facade to original hardwood floors, restored stained-glass windows, vintage wallpaper, and period lighting, the home is a living showcase of architectural artistry. Three charming period fireplaces add authentic ambiance, while a 2003 kitchen remodel honors its heritage with cherrywood cabinetry, granite counters, a hand-patinated copper hood, and exposed brick detailing. Upstairs, a 2020 Jack & Jill bath showcases classic tilework and pedestal sinks, and 2018 engineered hardwoods mimic the original pine. Seismic retrofitting—including bolting the house to its foundation and upgraded joists—ensures earthquake resistance, alongside dual-zone HVAC, copper plumbing, updated electrical, attic insulation with solar fans, and a 50-year roof. The serene backyard leads to a detached carriage house—now an artist’s studio with skylights and custom cabinetry. Situated in Glendora’s walkable historic district and featured on the official Glendora Walking Tour, with convenient alley access and pre-wired Ring system, this timeless home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of California’s architectural legacy. Don’t miss out—this one won’t last!
