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).

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
