The gated community of Friendly Woods is a much sought after enclave of only 36 homes in Whittier – an oasis with manicured greenery, a swimming pool, spa and tennis court, yet convenient to civilization. This home in particular has been freshly renovated to please the most discerning home buyer. The “beachy” floors and warm white walls give this home an expansive, inviting vibe. The large galley kitchen has new flat front cabinet doors and drawer fronts (easy to clean), quartz counters, stainless 5 burner cook top, double oven and stainless fridge and dishwasher. The dining nook has glass doors overlooking your private courtyard, a small secretary’s desk and washer/dryer tucked into a closet. The great room is perfect for entertaining. Imagine gathering for a meal with your loved ones, the ambience of the fireplace, the expansive sliding doors that open onto your patio and the green belt beyond. From the great room you can climb the spiral staircase up to the loft which makes a terrific home office – it’s private without feeling “locked away” while you work. While you’re up there, be sure to look for the secret doors in the paneling that conceal book shelves and a filing cabinet. Both bedrooms are quite large. The spa-like primary en-suite bath has a gorgeous walk-in shower with custom tile work, a vessel soaking tub with floor mounted fixtures, double sinks and lots of storage. The primary bedroom has a walk in closet + a second smaller closet, a built-in vanity and a gas fireplace – you’ll never want to leave. Even the secondary bedroom is large with original floor to ceiling windows overlooking your private front court yard. Home has an attached, oversized two-car garage with a utility area and ample guest parking available. GATE WILL BE OPEN DURING OPEN HOUSE HOURS
