About the property

Single‑level 4BR/2BA with large yard — steps to Citrus Grove retail

This lovingly maintained single‑story home — on the market for the first time by its original owner — delivers generous indoor space and a rare, deep yard in the Citrus Ave corridor. The comfortable floorplan offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,593 sq ft, with the primary suite featuring a walk‑in closet and double wooden doors. Both bathrooms have skylights, and ceiling fans are installed in every bedroom, helping keep the house comfortable year‑round.

The heart of the home is practical and bright: an open flow makes the interior feel larger than the recorded square footage. The kitchen includes a convection oven and room to modernize or keep as-is for immediate move‑in. Central AC keeps the home cool on summer days, and the single‑level layout is ideal for multigenerational living or buyers seeking easy access without stairs.

Outside, the property shines. The 7,563 sq ft lot gives you a private patio, mature fruit trees (two figs, a persimmon, and a macadamia) and space for gardening, entertaining, or adding an ADU (subject to local approval). A two‑car garage and a wide driveway provide excellent parking capacity for family and guests. Situated at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac, this home delivers suburban calm while remaining extraordinarily convenient.

Location is a standout: you're steps from restaurants and small shops at the Citrus Grove, and less than a mile from the Eastland retail cluster and IKEA. Express bus service on Citrus Ave connects commuters to West Covina, Cal State LA and downtown, while several regional colleges — Cal Poly Pomona and the Claremont Colleges — are only minutes away. Clean, comfortable and loaded with potential, this home is ready for its next 50 years.

Editorial market perspective

Covina and the West Covina border remain attractive to buyers seeking suburban single‑family homes with good retail access and commutes into job centers. As of spring 2026 the local market shows modest appreciation (single‑digits year over year) with low inventory in desirable neighborhoods; single‑story homes with larger lots typically outperform smaller or two‑story homes in days on market and final sale price. At a list of $789,000 and ~$495/sq ft, this home sits competitively for buyers seeking move‑in ready single‑level living or an owner who wants to add value through selective upgrades. Expect steady demand from families, downsizers and investors interested in long‑term rentals; always verify local comps and inspections before transacting.
