6769 Hillside , Whittier, CA 90602

Spectacular LOCATION in the prestigious and exclusive College Hills neighborhood. This is a locals-only-known community of elegant vintage and historical homes that are adjacent to the “Western Ivy League” campus of Whittier College. This is a friendly neighborhood where most homes are held by families for decades and rarely come up for sale. The views from every window offer vistas over the quiet, verdant neighborhood and of glorious tall pine trees. This home has gorgeous hardwood flooring and beautiful natural light through large picture windows. The popular open concept floorplan allows family and friends to gather in the living room, den, and dining room with ease and then pack into the kitchen for intimate conversation at the kitchen counter chairs. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated and the house enjoys many updates all while keeping the integrity of the architectural style. All of the bedrooms are downstairs where peace and quiet are revered: the Primary suite (with MASSIVE walk-in closet) is at one end of the hall, two large bedrooms and hall bathroom are in the middle of the hall and the Jr. Suite (perfect for teen/college/in-laws) is at the other end of the hall. The rear decks, garden and pool area are the ultimate and most exquisite spaces for entertainment. You will love the many seating areas- both spacious and intimate- for parties that can accommodate large or small gatherings. The luxurious black bottom pool is heated which allows year-round swimming along with numerous patio areas for sunbathing. Dog lovers will delight in having an enclosed area where Fido can run wild without feeling caged-in. This home also features a beautiful room with a Dutch-door to the exterior that would make a marvelous artist’s studio, exercise room, workshop or “Costco room”. Historical Uptown Whittier is a short stroll away and offers a vibrant community of restaurants, breweries, shops & entertainment and the Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts is down the street and features first-rate theatre and musical performances and Whittier College access to sporting events & venues for everyone to enjoy. There are nearby access points to Worsham Canyon which is an excellent hiking/mountain biking entrance to The Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority which manages nearly 4,000 acres of protected lands.
