About This Home
Welcome to the best street in Orange, a one-block tree-lined street, a short walk to Old Towne, and a short drive to all freeways. Known as the kibby house, this sprawling 4-bedroom 4-bath ranch home has charm and personality. The front yard is a display of color from the multiple flowerbeds, and mature trees accent the winding walkway into the house. A long driveway has pavered sections. gated parking leading to additional parking with a 2-car garage. Attached to the garage is an 830 sq. ft. workshop, adu, or game room featuring a custom tile 3/4 bath, vaulted ceilings with skylights, upgraded power, and garage access. The rear yard also has an additional shed for storage. The rear yard has a gazebo, covered patio, and trellis area to enjoy the flowers or pick from many fruit trees, including lemons, naval oranges, bananas, dragon fruit, papaya, and persimmon. If you need to make a fruit salad, there are 2 sinks, one double and one utility, located on the center island. clean up is easy with 2 dishwashers, one Fisher Paykel and a Bosch dishwasher. granite counters, custom cabinets, a double oven, and a refrigerator. an octagonal eating area with lots of windows for those everyday meals, or the dining room for the more formal occasions. open to the family room, a breakfast bar for those quick meals. a custom entertainment system to watch tv from wherever you dine. A formal living room features a masonry-built brick fireplace, perfect for those holiday gatherings. classic hardwood floors and a six bay front window to view the beautiful yard. The newer primary bedroom has a ceiling fan, crown moldings, and a French door with opening sidelights out to the patio, a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The en suite bath has a custom tile and glass block shower, dual sinks, and a walk-in closet. two primary bedrooms, on the other end of the house, a bedroom that has been turned into an office, and a classic tub/tile bath. There is also a main bath for the other 2 bedrooms. dual zoned central heating and air conditioning to control the climate. Solar tube skylights to let the natural light shine in. All bedrooms have custom closets to be organized and maximize the storage space. There is also a utility basement that has the HVAC and the water heater down there for maybe future wine cellar.
