This elegant 1925 Colonial home was built for luxury and comfort. 'The Cole House' was built by and for the pioneer Whittier family, The Cole Family. The Coles arrived in Whittier in the late 1800's and purchased 200 acres here in East Whittier where they grew oranges & walnuts. From the immense lot size, elegant Colonial portico entry, and generously sized rooms, to the large master bedroom with sizable walk-in closet and large bathroom, including the wide staircase, these nicer amenities reflect their finer taste. This home may be one of the only homes in Whittier to have a Batchelder fireplace, a popular tile manufacturer in early 1900 from Pasadena. Additional features include a desirable open floor plan, spacious kitchen with newer oven and dining room, service pantry with endless storage options, and the formal front room with a stately dual sided tile & brick fireplace. An elegant set of French double doors open to a spacious family room of a beamed ceiling, newer flooring, and dual sliding doors that lead to a refreshing pool, brick patio, and a lush grass rear yard- an entertainer's dream! Upstairs bedrooms are large and bright with many windows and large closets. Original tiled bathrooms are charming and large. Add a freshly painted exterior and newly painted interior, central air, upgrades, fruit trees, sprinkler system. Great location! Walk to Whittwood Town Center, Parnell Park, & award winning schools including La Serna High. A true one of a kind home!
