608 E Chestnut Avenue, San Gabriel, CA 91776

Description

Nestled on an expansive 150-foot-deep private lot just moments from the heart of San Gabriel’s beloved Mission District, this beautifully updated residence offers timeless charm, generous living spaces, and exceptional future potential. Located in one of the city’s most treasured neighborhoods, you’ll enjoy nearby historic landmarks, vibrant local dining, boutique shops, cultural attractions, and the rich character that makes San Gabriel such a sought-after community in the San Gabriel Valley. Step inside to discover an inviting interior highlighted by soaring 9-foot ceilings in the Living Room that create an open, airy feel throughout the living room, dining area, and remodeled open-concept kitchen - perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The oversized bedrooms provide more space than typically found in homes of this era, offering comfort and flexibility for today’s lifestyle needs. Outside, the property continues to impress with an extra-long driveway leading through a covered portico to the detached 2-car garage, providing ample parking and convenience. Attached to the garage is an expansive covered patio area ideal for year-round gatherings, outdoor dining, celebrations, or relaxing evenings with family and friends. The massive backyard, with multiple fruit trees including Fuyu Persimmon, grapefruit, Loquat, Orange, and two Guava trees opens the door to endless possibilities. With the depth and versatility of the lot, there is tremendous potential to expand the garage for additional vehicles, create a workshop, design a resort-style outdoor retreat, or add an ADU with multiple placement options. Fresh interior paint, newly painted exterior trim, all new insulation in the attic, and dual pane windows (except 2 original front windows) add to the home’s move-in-ready appeal. Living in this prime San Gabriel location means being close to Gabrielino High School, Alhambra Golf Course, the iconic Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, San Gabriel Square, highly regarded local eateries, parks, and convenient access to major freeways connecting you to Downtown Los Angeles and beyond. Opportunities like this - combining location, lot size, charm, and future potential are becoming increasingly rare. Missing this home would truly be a regret.
