1152 Northwestern Drive at a Glance
Built in 1958, this Claremont home has four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and approximately 2,160 square feet of living space on an approximately 8,498-square-foot lot. The floor plan places two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms on the main level, with two more bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs.
The property combines original elements with updates intended for everyday use. Features described in the listing information include original hardwood and cork flooring, dual-pane windows, central heating and air conditioning, mature landscaping, fruit trees, a covered patio, and an oversized two-car garage.
Buyers should independently verify square footage, lot size, room count, permits, and all property features.
Kitchen, Breakfast Area, and Laundry
Near the entry, the breakfast area and galley kitchen form a dedicated space for daily meals. The kitchen includes soft green cabinetry, dual ovens, a range, dishwasher, and multiple storage areas. Windows provide views toward the exterior landscaping.
A separate laundry room accommodates a side-by-side washer and dryer. A half bathroom is nearby, allowing the main living areas to have convenient access without relying on either full bathroom.
The kitchen and breakfast area are distinct from the larger dining and living rooms. This arrangement provides several options for meals, work, and gatherings rather than requiring one room to serve every purpose.
Dining Room, Fireplace, and Living Areas
The dining area is anchored by a brick wood-burning fireplace and includes built-in bookshelves. Todd notes that the room can accommodate a large dining table. Doors and pocket-style closures allow this section to be separated from adjacent spaces when desired.
The oversized living room sits close to the backyard access. Wide windows bring in natural light and views of the landscaping. A separate family room adds another flexible interior area, allowing occupants to create distinct spaces for conversation, media, work, or hobbies.
Flooring is part of the home’s mid-century character. Todd identifies cork flooring in the tour and explains that it was selected as a sustainable material. Buyers should inspect the current condition of all flooring and determine whether preservation, refinishing, or replacement aligns with their plans.
Two Bedrooms Downstairs and Two Upstairs
The main level contains two bedrooms. One is shown being used as a home office and includes a wall of closets. The nearby three-quarter bathroom has a shower and storage for toiletries, with linen storage also available in the hall.
Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bright primary bedroom occupies this level, and the other bedroom has previously served different functions, including a home office. This four-bedroom arrangement provides flexibility, but buyers should decide how the stair placement and split-level bedroom plan fit their specific needs.
A large walk-in attic and storage area expands the home’s practical capacity. During an in-person visit, buyers should examine access, ventilation, finished versus unfinished areas, and whether stored items or improvements affect usable space.
California Room and Backyard
One of the property’s notable features is the covered California room opening toward the backyard. It creates a sheltered transition between the interior and exterior and offers space for seating or dining. Buyers should verify how the area is permitted and whether it is included in any advertised square-footage calculation.
The backyard includes mature landscaping, fruit trees, a covered patio, and additional open areas. The oversized two-car garage is positioned separately from the main interior tour path. Prospective buyers should inspect garage dimensions, electrical service, storage, vehicle access, and any intended alternate use.
Outdoor features can require ongoing care. The condition of trees, irrigation, drainage, fencing, hardscape, and exterior structures should be reviewed during due diligence. Any plans for additions, accessory structures, or landscape changes remain subject to city requirements and other applicable restrictions.
Location and Buyer Due Diligence
The property is near Claremont Village and the Claremont Colleges, according to the video description. Buyers should confirm distances, routes, traffic patterns, and access to the destinations that matter to them. They should also verify public-school assignments directly with the relevant school district because boundaries and enrollment policies can change.
Before making an offer, buyers should review:
• Seller disclosures and title documents
• Roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Fireplace condition and any applicable inspections
• Drainage, trees, irrigation, and exterior improvements
• Window, flooring, appliance, and cabinetry condition
• Permit history and the status of the California room
• Insurance availability and estimated ownership costs
A 360° video provides a detailed first look, but it does not replace an in-person showing, professional inspections, or document review.
