About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled in the quiet and beautiful Olinda Ranch neighborhood, this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home boasts a highly desirable layout. A rare find, the first-floor master suite is conveniently located alongside two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom. The home is well-maintained and features an open-concept, luxurious design with soaring ceilings, creating a grand and inviting atmosphere the moment you walk in.

The first-floor master suite includes a walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in closet, adding to its elegant appeal. A versatile den offers the perfect space for a home office or additional room. Upstairs, a cozy loft and two generously sized bedrooms provide a nice separation from the first floor.

The kitchen seamlessly flows into the living room, offering ample space and abundant cabinetry for both functionality and style.

Step outside into the serene backyard, where a stepping stone pathway leads to a cozy elevated deck with a railing, perfect for taking in the breathtaking morning and evening views. A tranquil waterfall fountain with a small pond enhances the peaceful atmosphere, while the beautifully landscaped yard features a Japanese tree—an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee.

Additional highlights include a newer AC unit installed 2-3 years ago and an unbeatable location in Olinda Ranch. This community is known for its top-rated schools and proximity to dog parks, sports parks, the Brea Oil Museum, scenic trails, and Carbon Canyon Regional Park, which offers a lake, fishing derby, tennis courts, and the famous Redwood Grove. Shopping and dining options are also conveniently nearby, with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and major shopping centers just minutes away.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a beautiful home in one of Brea’s most sought-after neighborhoods!
