Located in Claremont's established Oakmont neighborhood, 226 E. Villanova Drive offers a charming blend of midcentury traditional character and thoughtful modern updates. Set among tree-lined streets and well-maintained homes, this inviting residence welcomes you with a manicured front lawn, mature landscaping, and a long driveway leading to a two-car garage with ample off-street parking. Inside, refinished original red oak hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace bring warmth and character to the living room. The kitchen features a dedicated dining area framed by two large windows that fill the space with natural light. New flooring extends through the dining area, kitchen, and laundry room, complementing the home's original details while adding a fresh, updated feel. With 1,112 square feet of living space, the thoughtfully arranged floor plan includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a separate indoor laundry room. The backyard makes wonderful use of the 6,376-square-foot lot, offering a grassy lawn, large mature citrus tree, and a covered pergola that provides a shaded space for outdoor seating and dining. Established raised garden beds and mature succulents add to the landscaping, creating a balance of open lawn, garden space, and comfortable outdoor gathering areas. Beyond its original charm, the home has benefited from several significant improvements, including an earthquake retrofit, copper plumbing, a tankless water heater, newer roof, and newer air conditioning. Fresh interior and exterior paint complete the recent updates. Conveniently located near the Claremont Village, Claremont Colleges, neighborhood parks, and local shops and restaurants, this home offers easy access to the amenities that make Claremont such a desirable place to live. With its original character, meaningful improvements, and inviting outdoor spaces, 226 E. Villanova is a wonderful opportunity to own a single-family home in one of Claremont's established neighborhoods.
