About This Home
As of July 2025Incredible Value in the Historic Anaheim Colony
Step into storybook living with this timeless 1911 Craftsman, tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in Anaheim’s Historic Colony District—rich with iconic architecture like Victorian, Craftsman, and Spanish Revival homes. More than a house, this is a piece of California history, thoughtfully modernized for today’s lifestyle.
Downstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Upstairs is an incredible additional 752 square feet of versatile living space with a bathroom! Use this as the private primary ensuite, separate kids room(s), rental income, family game room or whatever your heart desires. This home easily adapts to multigenerational living, work-from-home needs, or hosting guests. Original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and sun-filled living spaces blend historic character with fresh updates. The remodeled kitchen and dining area are perfect for entertaining—especially when topped off with nightly Disneyland fireworks views.
Highlights include: Brand-new solar system (seller will pay off) * Dual HVAC system (2 years new) * EV charging station + detached 2-car garage * Long private driveway + backyard shade tree. All of this in one of Anaheim’s best-priced homes for size, style, and location. And here's more to love: Massive monthly utility savings thanks to Anaheim Public Utilities, which offer some of the lowest electric and water rates in OC. With a Walk Score of 91, you’re steps from: Colony Park, Anaheim Packing House, Center Street Promenade, Craft breweries, cafes, and markets. Easy access to the 5 & 91 freeways. Plus, the home may qualify for the Mills Act, offering potential property tax reductions (buyer to verify). This is your chance to own charm, comfort, and community—all just $453/sq ft.
