Property Description
Welcome to your glam mid-century remodeled pool home — and it's not a flip! A place to host parties, bike nearby trails, and unwind. This single-story pool home sits on a flat lot and features $200K in upgrades, a rare exception. Looking for a 4th bedroom to use as an office? A small bonus room behind the attached garage is great for a home office or studio. Located in an established Orange neighborhood with long-term owners and a strong sense of community, this home has the 3 L's: Location, light & layout. Quiet yet central, you're minutes from Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, scenic trails, Eisenhower Park, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Anaheim, and sought-after schools. Soaring ceilings and abundant light create an open, inviting feel — a hallmark of mid-century design. A large front courtyard adds private outdoor space, while the grassy front yard could be enclosed for kids, pets, or a garden. The living room's shiplap ceilings and gas fireplace with fire glass set a sophisticated tone; the step-up dining room nods to its 1960's roots. The remodeled kitchen features matte porcelain counters, induction stove, new stainless fridge/dishwasher, and brass and acrylic hardware, flowing into the family room and outdoor entertaining space. The primary suite feels like a boutique hotel — freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, heated bidet toilet, smart mirror, terrazzo tile, and rare walk-in closet. New interior doors and baseboards carry the elevated feel. The secondary bath impresses with a curb-less walk-in shower, new vanity, smart toilet, penny tile, and direct backyard access. The backyard is for entertaining: a retro pool and built-in spa with vintage tile, water feature, outdoor bar, BBQ area with gas and power, and covered patio — with a pool fence available for safety. Pool filter recently replaced. Other highlights: solar panels that majorly offset high electricity costs plus dual-pane windows, smart blinds, whole-house fan, water softener, EV charging, and attic storage. The attached 2-car garage features an epoxied floor, storage room, and laundry sink. RV access. Don't miss the hidden door in the third bedroom concealing a secret closet! The full list of upgrades is available upon request. Beautifully updated while maintaining authentic 1960's character, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey single-story home over 1,800 square feet with exceptional hosting space in one of the central locations of Orange.
