1140 S Serena Drive

:: The John Silver Residence, 1957 :: Built by architects Maul and Pulver, AIA and once publicized as Home Of The Week in 1959 :: Conveniently situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a half acre flag lot, this unique mid century home is ready for it's next chapter. The entry still retains original aggregate flooring and leads to a large step down living room and den that are thoughtfully separated by a dramatic, razor sharp two way fireplace. Originally designed by the first owner to easily host family and friends, the large open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, new quartz counter tops and overlooks the rest of the entertaining spaces while also providing ample room for cooking and storage. A classic wall of glass across the entire rear of the home brings natural light into almost every room. Thoughtfully planned, the resting quarters are smartly separated from the living and entertaining areas. Down a long hall are a large bonus room / den which is ideal for a home office or additional den and 4 bedrooms and sauna. The substantial, step down primary located on the other side of the property provides privacy and has a convenient walk in closet as well as direct access to the exterior. The oversized grounds feature a pool and spa as well as plenty of usable surrounding outdoor space, offering an array of use options from playtime with children and pets, parties, outdoor summer dinners and more. Across the lot is a large pickle ball court that was recently resurfaced. Recent upgrades include a newer roof (2007), guest bathroom remodel (2019), primary bathroom shower (2024), upgraded electrical panel, newer windows, copper main water line replacement, resurfaced spa (2024) and more. The large driveway comfortably fits several cars and also has a large storage area. Conveniently located within a short golf cart ride to the South Hills Country Club and Golf Course. A rare opportunity in one of the most desirable pockets of West Covina.
