About This Home
As of October 2025Introducing 1009 E Buffalo Avenue, a private, designer-crafted residence where modern living meets timeless California charm. Located just one mile from both Downtown Santa Ana and the iconic Orange Circle, this reimagined single-story home delivers an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and location in one of Orange County’s most desirable neighborhoods. This reimagined home offers an elevated indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found at this price point. With three spacious bedrooms, two beautifully updated bathrooms, plus an optional fourth bedroom and an additional full bath, the layout is both flexible and functional for families, multigenerational living, or working from home.
Inside, an abundance of natural light highlights the open-concept living spaces, enhanced by wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a chef’s kitchen featuring brand new counters, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. The home’s commitment to sustainability is equally impressive, with fully paid solar panels and battery storage, bringing long-term energy efficiency and peace of mind.
What truly sets this home apart is its spectacular backyard retreat designed for both grand-scale entertaining and quiet relaxation. The outdoor living experience is second to none, designed for entertaining and elevated everyday living. Enjoy a fully built-in wet bar under permanent roofing, a custom outdoor fireplace, two additional exterior bathrooms, and a layout that reflects a professional-level vision for comfort, privacy, and hosting. The detached two-car garage, complete with bonus storage and workshop space, is well-suited for an ADU conversion or creative expansion, featuring all-new insulation and renovation. With a new roof, upgraded systems, and undeniable curb appeal, this turnkey residence offers exceptional value and versatility in one of Orange County’s most well-connected locations, just minutes from top schools, major freeways, and vibrant local amenities.
