Welcome to a rare opportunity in the prestigious Friendly Hills neighborhood of Whittier. This expansive 6,313 square foot estate blends the timeless elegance of Hollywood Regency and Neoclassical Revival architecture with tasteful modernist influences. Featuring four spacious bedrooms, six bathrooms, an expansive pool, and a separate pool house with its own bathroom, this home offers both grandeur and versatility. Just a few steps down from the main level, a generously sized great room awaits—complete with a full wet bar and its own bathroom—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or hosting in style.

Set on a picturesque, tree-lined street with wide lawns and lush landscaping, the setting feels straight out of a movie. Friendly Hills is known for its charm and character, where no two homes are alike. You’ll find everything from Mediterranean and Craftsman to midcentury ranch and contemporary styles, creating a custom-home community that’s as unique as it is welcoming.

Inside, natural travertine stone floors grace the entrance of the main living area and Swarovski crystal chandeliers glisten and mesmerize throughout, setting a tone of luxury and warmth. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, appointed with sleek marble countertops, a marble stone backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, induction cooktop, gas range, dual ovens, steamer, deep fryer, and built-in icemaker—everything you need to host on any scale.

Two garages—one side-by-side two-car and another tandem two-car—both provide direct access into the home for convenience and security. Every corner of this estate is designed for effortless living, with soaring ceilings, rich textures, and elegant architectural details that reflect the glamour of Old Hollywood while offering all the function of modern design.

Outdoors, the private backyard serves as a resort-style retreat with a sparkling pool, spa, and beautifully manicured grounds. The fully equipped pool house adds exceptional flexibility, ideal for guests, a home office, or creative studio.

Adding even more value, the home is located within the highly rated boundaries of Murphy Ranch Elementary, Granada Middle School, and La Serna High School—each known for academic excellence and community involvement.

This is more than just a home—it’s a legacy property in one of Whittier’s most desirable neighborhoods, offering beauty, function, and an unmatched lifestyle.
