About this House

Tucked in the heart of the Uptown Whittier Historic District, this one-of-a-kind Craftsman is a true piece of Southern California artistry. The home features rare hand-carved details by a celebrated pioneer artist in Tiki and Polynesian-inspired design — bringing an unmatched artistic legacy into every room.
Offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the home also includes a charming parlour/office, ideal for remote work or a quiet reading retreat. Throughout the home, beautiful built-in cabinetry showcases the craftsmanship and character that define the Craftsman style, blending timeless architecture with warm, livable spaces.
Outside, a rare find: an oversized, two-story, 3-car garage with excellent potential for conversion into an ADU (subject to permitting and buyer's due diligence.)— perfect for extended family, rental income, or a private studio.
Set in one of Whittier's most storied and walkable neighborhoods, this home is being sold as-is, offering a unique opportunity to preserve and personalize a genuine piece of local artistic history.
