Available for the first time ever and set on a rare and expansive dual parcel lot, this character-rich 1916 single-story home offers 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, blending timeless charm with a unique compound-style layout and endless opportunities. Set within the historic Puente Hills corridor, once part of the early Rancho La Puente land grant, the property reflects a meaningful connection to the area's ranching roots and early development. Inside, the home showcases a mix of original architectural details and thoughtful updates. Spacious living and dining areas feature classic windows, elegant moldings, and abundant natural light, while the updated kitchen offers white cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Multiple interconnected living spaces, French doors, and warm wood flooring create a flexible and inviting floor plan suited for everyday living, entertaining, or multigenerational use. The partially finished crawl space/basement provides abundant storage"”keeping seasonal items, gear, and everyday extras neatly out of sight but always within reach. The property truly shines with its multiple detached structures, creating a rare sense of space and versatility. In addition to the main residence, you will find a separate building currently used as a game or billiards room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a dedicated workshop, and a second garage, ideal for hobbies, storage, creative use, or potential future conversion. The grounds offer a peaceful, garden-like setting with mature landscaping, winding pathways, brick hardscape, and a charming courtyard patio that enhances the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Fruit-bearing avocado, citrus, and nut trees provide both beauty and function, while expansive outdoor areas offer endless opportunities for entertaining, gardening, or future expansion. The second parcel adds significant flexibility for those needing RV and boat parking, with convenient power access nearby, or for those considering an ADU, extended living space, or long-term investment potential. With its single-level layout, generous square footage, and rare combination of historical character, land, and additional structures, this property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy as is or thoughtfully enhance over time.
