Property Description
First time on the market in 50 years. Introducing the ''Story House,'' a historic four-bedroom, three-bathroom home located in the coveted Lindaraxa Park Neighborhood in North East Alhambra. This grand manor, established in 1883 by F.Q. Story, offers a glimpse into the rich history of California's citrus industry. The Story House is a testament to his influence and legacy, occupying a sprawling 18,723 square-foot lot on a picturesque tree-lined street, providing ample space and tranquility. The home is 3,064 square feet and features two bonus rooms, a full-standing basement and workshop. The exterior boasts a covered raised porch and an entryway flanked by lead glass windows, adding a touch of charm. Step through the front door and into the foyer, where you'll notice natural light streaming in through the large windows that grace every room. To the right of the foyer, you'll find a spacious living room, ideal for entertaining. To the left, a cozy sitting room where you will find the antique brass and ornate glass etched chandelier that is original to the home. The formal dining room is ideal for hosting dinner parties and special occasions. The updated kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry made from the property's more than 200-year-old camphor tree, beautifully crafted by the owners as a personal homage to the home. Adjacent to the kitchen, a great room provides a versatile space for casual gatherings and everyday living. On the first floor, you'll also find a laundry room for added convenience. Ascend the staircase, and you'll notice the wide-cased banister and curved archway adorned with original detailed corbels at each end. The second floor is home to a primary suite, offering a private sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation. The Story House is not just a home; it's a piece of Southern California's ties to a citrus heritage that has lasted 130 years and adds a unique allure to the property. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history and make this your new home.
