HISTORIC c1906 CRAFTSMAN HOME with SUBSTANTIAL ANNUAL MILLS ACT PROPERTY TAX SAVINGS! Designated as Whittier Historic Landmark #40, the Thornburgh/Sorenson House prominently overlooks Central Park in Uptown Whittier’s Historic District. Extensive work has been done through the years to ensure this home has the conveniences of modern living, while the original architecture remains, both inside and outside, providing all the charming character of its era. Packed full of original features, including built-in cabinets and window seats, natural wood trim casing, coved ceilings, counter-weight multi-paned windows, corner-set living room fireplace, walk-in closets … with windows … in each bedroom, original front door and the kind of lazy front porch that’s just begging for a porch swing. (Can't you imagine yourself entertaining guests on that porch enjoying live music from the City's summertime Concerts In The Park?!) The spacious kitchen has been remodeled giving careful thought to keeping it sympathetic to the home’s architecture with beautiful cabinetry, a vintage range and a quaint eat-in breakfast area for informal meals. The laundry room is located conveniently next to the kitchen. The downstairs bathroom features a walk-in shower … and for those who love a leisurely soak, the upstairs bathroom features a large claw-foot tub! From the Living Room walk through a lovely and unique Library/Music Room to the formal Dining Room, then enter onto your private, enclosed back porch oasis overlooking the extensive brick patio and shady garden area. The large 3-car garage opens onto the alley. The 3rd stall is walled off and could be used as a workshop, converted into a guestroom or transformed into an ADU with its own private side patio … the possibilities are endless! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of Whittier History!

Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in desirable East Whittier, this charming single-story home offers comfort, functionality, and flexibility. The property is currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence and features a spacious layout with abundant natural light throughout. Since purchasing the home in 2021, the current owner has completed several meaningful upgrades, including replacement of all HVAC ducting, a full copper re-plumb of the home, and refreshed kitchen cabinetry and flooring, enhancing both efficiency and everyday living. Originally constructed as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, the floor plan was modified by a prior owner to create an expanded dining area by removing a wall from the bedroom nearest the kitchen. This space offers flexibility, and a future owner may explore restoring the original third bedroom configuration if desired (buyer to verify feasibility, permits, and requirements with the appropriate professionals). Additional features include central air and heat, original hardwood flooring, newer windows, and a two-car attached garage with laundry area and built-in workbench. The manicured front and rear yards with mature trees provide inviting outdoor spaces for relaxation or entertaining. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, including Whittwood Mall and Whittier Boulevard, all within approximately one mile. A wonderful opportunity to own a well-maintained home with versatile living space in a sought-after neighborhood. ***Be sure to view the VIRTUAL TOUR by clicking on the 360 degree link above***
