About this home

Step into a world of timeless design with this stunning minimalist ranch, a rare find for the mid-century modern purist. Nestled in the prestigious West Floral Park neighborhood, this home perfectly balances authentic 1950s character with the clean, airy lines of modern living. From the winding pathway and frosted pebble mosaic sidelight to the expansive open floor plan, every detail celebrates a vintage aesthetic. Sun-drenched interiors feature glistening hardwood floors and oversized windows that frame views of the lush grounds. The spacious living room, anchored by a painted brick gas fireplace with a raised hearth, flows seamlessly into a dining area that retains its original vintage windows for "picture-perfect" charm. The kitchen is a mid-century chic masterpiece, boasting natural ceramic tile counters, thick wood cabinetry with striking copper hardware, and a matching vintage cooktop and oven now seamlessly updated with a new dishwasher for effortless modern convenience. A classic eat-in counter serves as the social heart of the home, while the adjacent laundry room provides an oversized pantry. Retreat to three generously sized bedrooms, including a rear sanctuary with direct access to the 245 square foot screened sunroom. The two bathrooms are a vintage lover’s dream, featuring hexagonal tile floors, pristine ceramic tiling, and solid wood cabinetry. Outside, the sprawling backyard offers a private oasis of fruit trees and manicured grass, accessible via elegant French doors. While the soul of the home is vintage, the infrastructure is 2025 ready: enjoy peace of mind with updated HVAC and ducting, newer windows, an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, and a newly installed whole house fan energy efficient ventilation system. Located just minutes from the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) and the vibrant social scenes of Old Town Orange and Downtown Santa Ana, this property is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle. Discover the warmth and architectural integrity of West Floral Park’s finest mid-century offering.
