Located on a quiet street, this 1950's 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been tastefully updated and is move-in ready! The large front yard leads up and into the spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving, and mountain views. Here the gorgeous hardwood floors begin and continue throughout much of the home. The adjacent dining area is warm & inviting, and the remodeled kitchen has a breakfast nook, quartz counters, and access to the separate laundry room. The bedrooms are large and the oversized family room in the rear of the house, which is actually the 3rd bedroom, is a versatile space that is large enough to add a wall and turn into both a bedroom and a separate den. The backyard has an open patio area, grassy lawn, avocado, pepper & oak trees, and detached 2-car garage with a separate office space. Belonging to Bradoaks Elementary School, less than 1/2 a mile from the Duarte Recreation Trail, and close to Bradbury City Hall, shops, restaurants, and transportation, this house is ready to be your home for years to come!

This mid-century home situated adjacent to Bradbury in the Bradoaks neighborhood is on the market for the first time in decades. Sited high up off the street, the combination of wood siding, stucco and flagstone along with diamond paned windows and faux wooden shutters on the exterior gives this home great curb appeal. The living room boasts an expansive corner flagstone and brick fireplace with raised hearth and wood mantle, as well as built-in bookshelf and a half wall of flagstone that opens to the formal dining room with crystal chandelier. The galley kitchen has dark wood cabinetry, a double sink with chrome fixtures, eating area, vinyl flooring and ceramic tile countertops. There is a massive master bedroom with a wall of built-in cabinetry, bar, ceiling fan, speaker system, and a sliding glass door to the rear yard. The additional two bedrooms are both good size and have ceiling fans. Off the hallway is a linen closet and a full bathroom with the original tub and toilet, as well as ceramic tile countertops, vinyl flooring and wall heater. There is another ¾ bath off the kitchen with period ceramic tile and a shower, as well as a separate laundry room. Out back is a fenced yard with patio and a huge avocado tree. Other amenities include hardwood floors underneath carpeting, pocket doors, water softener, Central air & heat, two-car detached garage with attached storage shed in back, and gorgeous mountain views.
