Glendora Home Sale

Tucked at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, this 1934 charmer mixes the character of classic architecture with the confidence of modern updates. Framed by roses and lush hedges, its steep gables and diamond-pane windows set the stage for what’s inside. The main house has 2 comfortable bedrooms, 1 full bath, and bright, welcoming living areas. You’ll find original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, built-ins, and French doors for a touch of vintage charm, along with peace-of-mind upgrades like fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, waterproof vinyl plank flooring, all-new copper plumbing, a new gas line, and complete electrical rewiring. The kitchen keeps its original cabinetry but adds quartz counters, a matching backsplash, and a new dishwasher for everyday convenience. Above the living room, a pitched-roof attic offers 300+ sq. ft. of storage or creative space. A simple layout change could connect directly to the attached ADU, creating a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with minimal effort. The rebuilt ADU (2015) is fully self-contained with a modern kitchen, updated appliances, fresh finishes, energy-efficient windows, and beautiful mountain views ideal for guests, rental income, or multi-gen living. Thoughtful touches include built-in USB-C charging ports in the kitchen, adding extra convenience for today’s devices. One side of the detached garage houses a professionally built, sound-treated media studio originally designed as a detached living room extension for the ADU. It is wired with 8 outlets for a wall-mounted TV and peripherals, plus coaxial cable and high-speed internet connections in both the studio and the adjacent control/ante room. The other garage bay can serve as a workshop or gym, and both areas include additional attic storage. The backyard is low-maintenance with full paving, tall hedges, a mature lemon tree, and a garden strip for herbs or veggies. All of this is just minutes from downtown Glendora, parks, schools, and shopping.
