936 Portola Drive

Since 1970, the Jensen family has called 936 Portola Drive home. The 2,249 square foot floor plan of three bedrooms and two bathrooms has served the family well and the memories made throughout the years will last a lifetime. They have enjoyed its location within the “Village”, the tremendous Arcadia schools, and the countless friends that have become family.

Many improvements were made throughout the Jensen’s 5+ decade tenure including an addition to the master bedroom and family room, a remodeled kitchen, newer mechanical systems, refinished hardwood floors, and interior and exterior paint. The formal entry offers its own closet and access to the formal living room and central hallway. The formal living room provides plenty of natural light through its large front windows and includes recessed lighting, fireplace, a paneled accent wall, and views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Off the dining room is the remodeled kitchen which opens into the large family room. The kitchen was expanded and completely redone in the mid-2000’s and offers a skylight, granite counters, wood cabinetry, built-in appliances, and large center island. The family room includes recessed lighting, beamed ceiling, built-in shelving, and French doors to the rear patio. Off the central hall are the three bedrooms and both bathrooms. The front and middle bedrooms are nicely sized with a full bathroom set between. At the end of the hallway is the master suite which features a sitting area, multiple windows, walk-in closet, recessed lighting, and its own full bathroom.

Both the front and rear yards of the 9,933 square foot lot have been landscaped and are beautifully maintained. The front yard features a large tree and charming porch while the back yard offers a large, covered patio and spacious grassy area. Additional features of note include a detached garage with workshop, laundry area, copper plumbing, newer central heating and air conditioning, and an alarm system.
