About This Home

As of May 2025

UPDATED SINGLE STORY IN THE HEART OF BREA! This thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers comfort, style, solar panels and views! Inside, wood laminate flooring leads to a spacious living room. The contemporary kitchen features quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances—including a five-burner gas stove—and a cozy dining area. Plantation shutters throughout the home provide controlled natural lighting, complemented by dual-pane windows, recessed lighting, and a separate den space for added versatility. The primary bedroom offers two closets and a private ensuite bathroom with a sliding glass tub/shower combo, while the two additional bedrooms feature ample closet space and bright interiors with their own shared hallway bathroom. Recent upgrades include a new roof, fresh interior paint, updated bedroom and living room flooring, and a fully modernized HVAC system with new ductwork, condenser, furnace, and line set. Dual doors from the living room open to a peaceful backyard retreat enhanced with a custom drip irrigation system—perfect for future gardens. A curved walkway surrounds part of the home, offering views of the backyard's grassy areas that overlook the neighborhood. The attached garage adds incredible functionality with a workbench, shelving, built-in cabinetry, lofted storage, laundry area with utility sink, and more. The home is equipped with 18 professionally installed solar panels, regularly maintained and saving thousands on electricity bills. Solar panels will be paid off before close of escrow, providing the new owner with a fully paid-off, energy-efficient system valued at $23k. Situated in the desirable Brea Olinda Unified School District and just minutes from Downtown Brea, the Brea Mall, restaurants, parks, and 57 Freeway access, this home delivers the ideal blend of upgraded living and everyday convenience.
