About This Home

As of September 2013

You'll love this College Park 4 bedroom home. The centerpiece of this dream home is the remodeled gourmet kitchen with center island, new appliances, wine cooler, double sided fireplace, vaulted ceilings and tons of room to entertain! The huge skylight fills the kitchen with light. Another highlight of this home is the remodeled master bath with custom shower and the latest accent tiles, flooring, lighting, oversized double vanity, and closet! Other upgrades/features included textured & vaulted ceilings, newer windows, security system, upgraded carpet, professional landscaping, fountain, covered patio and built in spa. An oversized driveway may have room for a boat or small RV. This home is nestled within a great neighborhood that's walking distance to freeways, shopping, schools, OC Fair/swap meet, Orange Coast College and the Civic Center. Note that 4th bedroom has been converted to a den, and although garage is set up as a gameroom with a stackable washer & dryer, full size side by side washer & dryer are possible (garage cabinets are not attached to wall and old dryer vent has only been covered from the inside).
