ICONIC, TIMELESS and ORIGINAL CHARACTER. All concepts to use when describing 5857 Washington Ave. Built in 1917, this 2-story, one-of-a-kind Craftsman set in historic Uptown Whittier blends original architectural details with period appropriate updates, creating a home that feels both classic and comfortably livable. A charming front porch sets the tone, welcoming you to the grand front door that has been part of the home’s story for more than a century. Inside you’ll find an abundance of warmth and craftsmanship throughout, including original wood floors and formal dining room with built-ins, a cozy sunroom off the living area, a kitchen filled with vintage character, and a cozy breakfast nook that adds to the home’s everyday charm. The downstairs primary bedroom offers convenience and comfort, along with a beautifully restored bathroom featuring time period appropriate tile from Mission Tile and appropriate finishes. Upstairs, the staircase leads to two with ample closet space with built in storage, additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an additional office/bedroom space, offering flexibility for guests, work-from-home space, or additional sleeping areas. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office/sleep space, sunroom, and approximately 1,928 square feet of living space on a 6,302 square foot lot, this Uptown Whittier Craftsman is filled with history, charm, and the kind of details that make this home truly special. This home also boasts a basement complete with original built in sink, a polished concrete floor and plenty of storage. Back yard is large enough for an ADU, a pool or both! A storybook home just moments from Uptown’s charming restaurants, cafes, coffee spots, local shops and hiking trails. If you want a piece of history, this is your opportunity to be a steward for this rare craftsman home.
