Welcome to 7741 Friends Ave, a charming Spanish Colonial Revival-style home located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Uptown Whittier. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends classic architectural character with thoughtful updates and a flexible floor plan.

Inside, the spacious living room features beautifully preserved hardwood floors, a distinctive tiled fireplace, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, plantation shutters, and abundant natural light.

Outside, the property is designed for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining. Interlocking brick pavers extend through the driveway and outdoor hardscape areas, creating a cohesive courtyard-style feel. A newer rear patio and seating area provides an inviting setting for outdoor dining and gatherings, complemented by lawn and mature landscaping.

A detached bonus room of more than 200 square feet offers even more flexibility and is ideal as a man cave, game room, creative studio, home office, gym, or hobby space. A large detached 2.5 car garage provides additional parking, storage, or workshop potential. Additional features include central air and heating.
