About This Home
As of May 2025Your next home awaits - just in time for the lazy days of summer! Come see this updated single-level gem on a classic tree-lined street just minutes from Old Towne Orange. (Virtual Tour is posted - take a look!) From the brick front porch, enter into a spacious open floorplan with a wide-open kitchen of granite counter tops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a granite island for easy dining. The kitchen’s central location and huge picture window looking over the patio and ample yard beyond make it truly the nucleus this home. The adjacent dining room is a space of its own with sliding-door access to the patio. Vinyl wood flooring throughout leads to the oversized family room with a beamed ceiling, recessed lighting, and direct access to the backyard. The primary suite has three windows for good light, a ceiling fan, and a large closet with built-in shelving for extra storage. And the updated bathroom has dual sinks, wall-mounted faucets, quartz countertops, and a beautiful glass-enclosed herringbone-tiled walk-in shower. The secondary bedrooms also have good light, panel doors, and ceiling fans. And the updated hall bath includes newer vanity, tile flooring, and a shower-in-tub. Both the backyard and front yard have a combination of drought-tolerant plants, lawn, and hardscape, including a stamped concrete and tile patio. The large, solid shiplap patio cover with recessed lighting provides excellent shade and large space for outdoor dining. Off to the side, a decomposed granite area is perfect for a late evening fire pit and lounge area. Enjoy direct access to the attached two-car garage with laundry area, epoxy floor, and LED lighting. The home was remodeled in 2016 with many upgrades, so it has the space, the upgrades, and the location you are looking for, all within a mile of Chapman University. Come take a good look!
