About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to 181 Monterey Road, where timeless charm meets luxurious, modern living in the heart of Orange. Meticulously renovated inside and out, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home blends style, function, and comfort on a charming tree-lined street just moments from Old Towne Orange and Chapman University. Every detail was carefully curated, from the intentional flow of the floor plan to the hand-picked bespoke lighting, wallpaper accents, and designer tile creating a cohesive, elevated design throughout. Spanning 2,237 square feet, natural light streams into the open layout, thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Wide-plank flooring and designer fixtures run throughout, while the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen, wows with a striking quartzite island, sleek cabinetry, and high-end appliances. Accordion-style doors seamlessly blend the great room with the spacious backyard, creating effortless indoor/outdoor living. Step outside to enjoy a newly designed landscape featuring mature greenery, seating and dining space, and a modern fence in front that adds privacy and curb appeal. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a spa-like bathroom, plus 3 beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms. An added bonus is the spacious detached flex space with a convenient half bathroom—ideal for a guest suite, game room, home gym, or creative studio. A 2-car garage and ample parking add to the home's functionality. From its curated interiors to its resort-style outdoor spaces, this turn-key home delivers exceptional living just steps from the energy of historic Orange.
