A Whittier Gem with Presidential History! Welcome to 14044 Sunset Drive! This stunning 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence offers 3,360 square feet of beautifully maintained living space on a generously sized 14,484 square foot lot, nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac just below Mar Vista. This exceptional home combines timeless character with modern upgrades and a rich local history—originally purchased from President Richard M. Nixon’s family, Russell E. &#38' Hilda Harrison, in 1972. Walking up to the home you are greeted with a huge front porch and stepping into the home are welcomed into the small foyer. The oversized formal living and dining rooms sit off the foyer and have floor to ceiling windows with amazing views of the lushly landscaped front yard. The wood burning gas fireplace in the living room has a beautiful solid wood antique mantel. The remodeled kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel range, copper sink, eat-in area, walk-in pantry, and ample windows allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space. The home also boasts a den with a second wood burning fireplace, separate oversized family/game room with a wall of windows overlooking the back deck and yard, indoor laundry room, new interior paint/carpeting/lighting, and refinished original hardwood floors that shine with warmth and charm. The home lives primarily as a single-story, with only one bedroom and bathroom located upstairs, offering privacy and sweeping city light views. Three of the bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, and all are generously sized with oversized closets. The hallway bathroom is stunning in its original condition and separate tub and stall shower. Powder room is located at the back of the home. Step outside to a large covered deck perfect for entertaining, featuring a built-in BBQ and outdoor countertop space. The detached 2-car garage includes an attached workshop area, and a long driveway offers ample off-street parking. Enjoy quiet mornings on the spacious front porch or take in the neighborhood and hillside views from the expansive windows. The mature avocado tree and other fruit trees located in the back yard are an added bonus and have been producing for years! Located minutes from Whittier College, Michigan Park, and local dining and shopping, this one-of-a-kind property blends comfort, history, and unmatched curb appeal. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Whittier’s past with a home designed for today’s lifestyle.
