Custom built-ins in the dining room and guest bedroom add character and convenience, while stylish finishes ensure effortless living. The separate laundry room offers storage and easy access to the backyard and detached 2-car garage. Outdoors, enjoy entertaining in the serene yard with its charming landscaping, grass yard, alley access, and potential RV parking. Freshly painted inside and out, this timeless Craftsman is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Orange’s rich history—just blocks from everything Old Towne has to offer. Welcome home!
