About This Home

Now's your opportunity to live in an award-winning, studio/1 bathroom historic 1920 cottage. Live in one of the most unique and historic cottages in Orange County

Welcome to Ted's Garage in Old Towne Orange. This tiny cottage is truly a standalone home (no common walls means no noisy neighbors) and was named in honor of Ted Glasener, a well known and longtime Orange resident. If you love architecture, all things vintage, and dig tiny homes, then you'll love Ted's Garage (sorry but due to its quaintness, this is a single occupancy unit).

What separates this home from others is the numerous cool features, attention to detail, and it is brimming with next-level quality. The tiny cottage has been featured in numerous media outlets (cover of Old Towne Orange Plaza Review, Hot Properties Column of the OC Register, it was selected to be on the City of Orange historic home tour, to name a few).

Among the numerous custom features, all painstakingly built onsite by an amazing team of historic tradesman, includes:

Custom woodwork, cabinetry and tile throughout

1880s reclaimed barnwood flooring

Built in original dinette that seats 4 from the 1920s

Built in queen sized Muphy bed (a new gel foam mattress will be provided)

Secret hidden bathroom passageway that is activated by tipping a book on the bookshelf to unlock the secret door

Walk in shower featuring custom tilework and heirloom quality tile

Washer/dryer, refrigerator, and stove included

Outside seating area with built-in in swivel seats and tile tabletop

Air conditioning, tankless water heater and flat screen television included

This cottage is one of five homes that makeup the Shaffer Cottages and sewer. Tenant pays gas, electric, wifi/cable.

There is a $30 charge per month for water.
