San Gabriel Home Sale

Located in picturesque North San Gabriel just south of San Marino, this charming 1939 cottage has been extensively updated and expanded while retaining all of its period charm. The professionally landscaped front garden is enclosed by a distinctive Chippendale-style fence privatizing the space and suggesting the graceful elegance that lies beyond the front door. The entry of the home is open to both the living room and dining area. The living room is highlighted by a bay window that overlooks the lush front garden and a stately fireplace with preserved original tile surround. An adjacent dining area is well-scaled with a built-in buffet and features a French door to the side dining patio. The adjacent kitchen is remodeled with ample cabinet space, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook. There is a practical side door that allows for access directly from the driveway - perfect for unloading groceries! Beyond the public rooms are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms including the primary suite. All 3 bedrooms feature French doors for direct access to the side and back gardens. The primary suite is very spacious with room for a king-size bed, a substantial walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed full bathroom with clawfoot tub, oversized shower and a separate water closet. The French door in the primary suite leads directly to the handsomely manicured backyard with two raised beds, a verdant lawn, numerous fruit trees, and a detached 2-car garage. The garage has been finished and used by the present owners as a bonus room, the perfect extension of this lovely home. This exquisite property is the rare treat of a completely remodeled home with modern amenities like dual-pane windows and doors throughout, professionally landscaped grounds, and an outstanding neighborhood. Don't miss this opportunity!
