First time on the market in over 41 years, this cozy cottage has been lovingly maintained and presents endless possibilities. The sprawling front yard with matured trees and roses welcomes one to the inviting screened in porch (136 sq ft!) that is perfect for SoCal living! Through the front door is the pleasant living room with coffered ceiling and a large window. To the left of the living room is the versatile den; the perfect spot for a home office or a convertible bedroom for overnight guests. On the other side of the living room is the comfortable bedroom suite with white vintage paneling, peek-a-boo view of the mature avocado trees in the front yard, an unexpected large walk-in closet with mirror doors, and access to a roomy full bath. The adorable and efficient kitchen with blue cabinets and classic white tiles has ample storage and adjoins the bright and airy dining area with views of the wonderful vegetable garden plus lime, persimmon and tangerine trees. Beyond the kitchen/dining area is the separate utility room with a door leading to the backyard, driveway and garage. The fenced in back yard is ideal for outdoor BBQ and alfresco dining. Other highlights include wood-like vinyl planks throughout, double paned windows, newer interior paint, newer 18,000BTU split A/C & heating unit and newer garage door. A great condo alternative, this single-family residence in the sought-after Temple City School District is truly a gem!!! Don't miss!!!
