Nestled in Whittier’s College Hills Historic District, 13722 Philadelphia Street is a captivating 1938 home that has been cherished by the same family for nearly half a century. Just a block from Whittier College and a short walk to Uptown Whittier’s lively shops, restaurants, and entertainment, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern comforts. The home’s striking curb appeal welcomes you with wood siding, brick accents, decorative shutters, and original wood windows. Brick steps and a wrought iron handrail lead to a spacious living room with a tray ceiling, gleaming hardwood floors, and a cozy brick fireplace that burns gas or wood. A bay window frames the front yard, perfect for seasonal decorations. The adjacent formal dining area flows into a delightful kitchen with a breakfast nook, where you can sip coffee while gazing at the backyard oasis. That backyard is truly special—a rare find with a pool and jacuzzi, a built-in BBQ and bar, and an outdoor fireplace crafted from the home’s original 1930s trash incinerator. Mature orange, lemon, and apple trees dot the lush landscape, while a trellis-covered patio, large shed, and elevated garden area offer endless possibilities for relaxation or play. Inside, the primary bedroom boasts dual closet
