Property Description
Nestled in Whittier's College Hills Historic District, 13722 Philadelphia Street is a captivating 1938 home that has been cherished by the same family for nearly half a century. Just a block from Whittier College and a short walk to Uptown Whittier's lively shops, restaurants, and entertainment, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern comforts. The home's striking curb appeal welcomes you with wood siding, brick accents, decorative shutters, and original wood windows. Brick steps and a wrought iron handrail lead to a spacious living room with a tray ceiling, gleaming hardwood floors, and a cozy brick fireplace that burns gas or wood. A bay window frames the front yard, perfect for seasonal decorations. The adjacent formal dining area flows into a delightful kitchen with a breakfast nook, where you can sip coffee while gazing at the backyard oasis. That backyard is truly special—a rare find with a pool and jacuzzi, a built-in BBQ and bar, and an outdoor fireplace crafted from the home's original 1930s trash incinerator. Mature orange, lemon, and apple trees dot the lush landscape, while a trellis-covered patio, large shed, and elevated garden area offer endless possibilities for relaxation or play. Inside, the primary bedroom boasts dual closets and a vanity area, connected to a full bathroom with an original tub and separate shower. One secondary bedroom enjoys a private three-quarter bathroom, while another opens to the backyard patio with pool views. A convenient laundry room with storage and a side porch adds practicality. Modern upgrades like central heating and air, a whole-house fan, ceiling fans, updated copper plumbing, and a new electrical panel ensure peace of mind. The attached two-car garage offers ample storage and workspace. Steeped in history and brimming with character, this home is ready for its next chapter. Come discover the warmth and timeless appeal of 13722 Philadelphia Street—your piece of Whittier's heritage awaits.
