Property Description

Timeless Charm in Alhambra's Prestigious Bean Tract — First Time on Market in Over 50 Years. This 1939 home sits in one of the city's most exclusive and sought-after enclaves, bordering San Marino. Steep gabled rooflines, a brick chimney, stacked stone accents, and manicured hedges create instant curb appeal. Offered for the first time since 1972, this 3,072 square-foot home features 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on a generous 9,316 square-foot lot. A gracious formal entry, flanked by decorative leaded-glass sidelights, opens three ways. To one side is a spacious formal living room with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a marble-surround fireplace, and a bay window overlooking the tree-lined street. To the other is a formal dining room with wainscoting, hardwood floors, and a chandelier, flowing directly into a well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen features custom cabinetry with pull-out shelving, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances including a double oven and cooktop, along with a breakfast nook with its own bay window overlooking the front garden and street, a built-in desk, and a pull-out stool. It leads into a laundry room with low-profile stackable machines and a side door to the driveway. A long hallway through the center of the home offers built-in hallway and linen cabinets for storage, along with a DIY dumbwaiter connecting the upstairs and downstairs, and leads to two additional large bedrooms at its end, plus a full bathroom with separate tub and shower and basement access housing the HVAC unit, water heater, and extra storage. The opposite side of the hallway opens to a carpeted staircase and a spacious family room, with a third downstairs bedroom and 3/4 bathroom just off of it, plus sliding glass doors leading to a screened-in patio/sunroom overlooking the backyard. Upstairs offers three more bedrooms with angled ceilings and built-in closet storage under the eaves, a large hall bathroom, and a versatile bonus room perfect as a playroom, office, or additional storage. Outside, the grounds feature a decorative concrete garden bridge over a rock bed, mature fruit trees, and a detached garage with solar panels and a separate workshop offering a private toilet room, utility sink, and built-in storage. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bean Tract history in one of Alhambra's most beloved neighborhoods.
