1686 Longwood Avenue, Claremont, CA, US, 91711

A mid-century remodel done with a careful hand exposed beam entry, brick and vertical wood siding, and an angled roofline that sets the tone before you're through the door. Five bedrooms and three baths unfold across 2,168 square feet, with vaulted, beamed ceilings and skylights carrying natural light through the main living spaces. The kitchen anchors the home: quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, subway tile, and a Dacor range, finished with the same clarity of intention found throughout. Down the hall, three additional bedrooms share a second full bath space enough for a growing family, guests, or a dedicated home office. The primary suite offers a private en suite bath and a reconfigured closet system built for real storage floor-to-ceiling shelving in place of a single rod and shelf. Individually zoned climate control throughout means each room holds its own comfort, independent of the rest. Out front, drought-tolerant plantings succulents, ornamental grasses, flowering natives replace the expected lawn, requiring little and giving back plenty. Around back, 10,541 square feet of grounds do double duty: an open lawn for everyday living, river-rock-bordered raised beds for a working garden, and mature citrus and fruit trees along a decomposed granite path. Room remains for a pool, and the lot is surveyed and ADU-ready, with the city's pre-approved ADU plans available upon request. Ideally positioned in the Claremont Unified School District, walkable to Chaparral Elementary and a short distance to El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High, with the shops, cafes, and galleries of Claremont Village and the Claremont Colleges nearby.
