About This Home

As of April 2023

Welcome to 2242 S. Towner Street. A 1951 Traditional home with the perfect balance of a serene suburban neighborhood and easy access to bustling city life.

As you approach this home, you'll notice its inviting front porch, perfect for enjoying coffee on a lazy Sunday morning. The warm and inviting atmosphere immediately puts you at ease as you step inside. The next thing you'll notice is the spacious living room with its large windows that allow natural light to flood the space, and just off the living room, you'll find a cozy dining area perfect for intimate family dinners. So far, so good. Right?

One of the most notable features of this property is its lot size - it's the perfect lot to build an ADU, providing endless possibilities to expand and customize your home to your liking.

It gets better, and the location of 2242 S. Towner is ideal for anyone looking for the best of both worlds. You'll be just one block from Memorial Park, a popular spot for jogging, picnics, and recreational activities. And next door, you'll find one of the best mom-and-pop restaurants in town, Taqueria El Zamorano, serving delicious and authentic Mexican food.

When you're ready to venture out, South Coast Plaza is just two miles away, offering world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Likewise, Downtown Santa Ana is only 3 miles away. In addition, the nearby 405 and 55 freeways make commuting a breeze, providing easy access to all Orange County offers.

This property can make a great starter home for anyone looking to live in a charming neighborhood close to all the action or ideal for the "buy and hold" investor looking to grow their portfolio. Its prime location, ample lot size, and cozy atmosphere welcome everyone with open arms, especially you!
