About This Home

As of June 2026

Beautifully maintained single-story home in the desirable Cambridge Park neighborhood, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a flexible floor plan with a potential 4th bedroom. The open-concept design creates a bright and welcoming living space, complemented by an alcove office area conveniently located off the kitchen and an inside laundry room.
The inviting backyard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with direct access from both the living area through a sliding glass door and the primary suite through elegant double doors. Charming curb appeal is enhanced by classic shutters, a brick raised planter, and a spacious driveway providing additional parking.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just steps from the Santiago Creek Bike Trail, offering miles of scenic pathways stretching from Collins Avenue in Orange to Main Street in Santa Ana. Enjoy the convenience of being approximately one mile from Historic Downtown Orange, where you'll find a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, entertainment, and Chapman University.
