Temple City Schools, a quiet side street, partially updated and lovingly maintained by 1 owner since 1957, this Character Home is warm, comfortable and provides for a great indoor/outdoor lifestyle near all the shops and dining of both Las Tunas and Valley Boulevards! Featuring a gracious Living room with a decorative fireplace, light and bright informal dining room, and easy flow into the open kitchen/den with wide, sliding glass door access to the backyard, the floor plan is ideal for entertaining. The country kitchen has updated countertops while still showing its vintage charm, with over- sink views to the den and covered entertaining patio. Two of the bedrooms share an updated granite tile bathroom, and the main bedroom has its own direct access, updated 3/4 bath. Forced air heat and central air, as well as a large laundry room with extensive built-in wall cabinetry and door to the backyard, plus a spacious 2 car garage, all provide great conveniences. The dining size covered patio is perfect for evenings of reading, socializing and enjoying the Southern California weather, while the large bricked-in yard can be reinvented to create gardens or play area. In a quiet neighborhood that reflects pride of ownership and has a decades long stability, and served by the highly regarded Temple City School District, it is very convenient to the many shops and restaurants of Temple City and San Gabriel, and is five miles southeast of Pasadena. It's also just a short 13 mile drive to Downtown Los Angeles! The stellar location of this well loved, move-in ready home makes it an excellent opportunity and is ready and waiting for its next chapter!
