Description

Nestled in the heart of prestigious Friendly Hills, one of Whittier's most sought-after neighborhoods, this exceptional Santa Barbara-inspired single-story estate offers timeless architecture, remarkable privacy, and a picturesque setting bordering the natural dry creek of Arroyo San Miguel. Situated on an expansive 17,515-square-foot lot, the 3,344-square-foot residence seamlessly blends character, comfort, and versatility. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features six bedrooms and three bathrooms within an open-concept floor plan highlighted by tongue-and-groove open beam ceilings, abundant natural light, and distinctive architectural details throughout. Rich brick flooring, ceramic tile, and authentic Saltillo tile create warmth and character, while multiple living spaces include a spacious living room with fireplace, a rumpus room, dedicated home office with fireplace (could be 6th bedroom), and several library areas complete with custom built-in bookcases. The gallery-style hallway is bathed in natural light, leading to generously sized bedrooms, including an oversized bunk-room-sized bedroom with doors to the exterior. The primary suite offers separated vanities and a unique two-sided walk-in shower. The skylit kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complemented by a laundry room with a walk-in pantry for added convenience. Two classic brick fireplaces provide inviting gathering spaces within the residence. The six-bedroom layout is highly unusual for a single-story home and creates significant appeal for multigenerational households: grandparents living with adult children, families needing separate office space and families seeking future ADU potential. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with brick patios and entertainment areas designed to capture beautiful vistas of the swimming pool, gardens, an extraordinary collection of plants and a rare specimen tree. Additional features include an in-ground fire pit, two included steel storage sheds, and potential space for a future ADU (buyer to verify). Located within the boundaries of highly regarded schools, the property also enjoys close proximity to Friendly Hills Country Club, Whittwood Town Center, vibrant Uptown Whittier, and premier shopping and dining destinations. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive architectural residence in one of Whittier's most prestigious neighborhoods. Membership to Friendly Hills Property Owners Assn. is social/voluntary @ $50/year.
