Description
Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Whittier's most desirable neighborhoods, this charming 2 bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of location and character. Just minutes from Uptown Whittier's shops and restaurants, Michigan Park, and Whittier College, this home puts you close to everything while still feeling tucked away and peaceful. Original hardwood floors have been newly refinished throughout, adding warmth and timeless charm to every room. The exterior has been freshly painted in a soft sage tone for true storybook cottage curb appeal, and new flower beds and refreshed landscaping complete the picture. Inside you'll find a full bath plus a convenient quarter bath, and a layout full of character. A rare opportunity in a location that rarely comes available. Buyer to independently verify all information.
