Poised on a parklike lot beneath the shade of a leafy pepper tree, this stately 1909 Arts & Crafts home, adorned with bougainvillea-covered porte cochere, stands out among many beautiful, historically significant bungalows in La Marguerita-Souders Tract of Alhambra. The inviting front porch architecture, characteristic of this neighborhood, fosters a deep sense of community, where for the past 46 years, this home has been lovingly restored, cared for, and shared with the neighbors, bearing witness to countless block parties, civic, and community gatherings over the decades. As you approach the wide oak front door, you are welcomed into an expansive living room with a stunning stone fireplace, box beams, and tremendous dappled light through the magnificent avocado tree, just outside. The living room flows to the cozy breakfast room where beadboard wainscoting enhances the home's historic charm. Graced with original hardwood floors throughout, this 4-bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home creates immediate appreciation for quality materials and architectural design that enriches and nurtures. The kitchen epitomizes this home's unique character, warmth and natural light. Upstairs, there is an inviting wrap-around landing with a bedroom in each corner, one with a bathroom en suite, a hallway bathroom, and a den currently used as a television room. The most prominent feature of the second floor is an incredible treehouse experience where abundant windows integrate the vibrant street below, connecting the interior to the lively community and lush trees surrounding.
