More Insights

Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: This 1925 English Tudor has undergone significant and thoughtful updates to its major systems, including a newer roof, tankless water heater, central HVAC, updated electrical, plumbing, and a newer electrical panel, making it move-in ready. The primary bathroom features an upgraded en-suite with dual sinks and an oversized shower. The kitchen is functional with white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel gas range/microwave, though the backsplash, floor tiles, and black refrigerator suggest a renovation that is likely 10-15 years old rather than brand new. The second bathroom retains more vintage charm. Overall, the property is well-maintained and comfortable, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years for key components and requiring no immediate renovation.

About this home

Nestled in the heart of Historic Wilshire Square, this beautifully maintained English Tudor sits on an oversized lot and offers a rare blend of classic charm and thoughtful updates. The curb appeal is immediately inviting, with a manicured front yard, welcoming entry, and a charming front porch that sets the tone for the home. Inside, hardwood floors, graceful archways, and rich vintage details highlight the spacious living room, featuring a distinctive barrel ceiling and an abundance of natural light. The adjacent formal dining room is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, showcasing upgraded molding, a tray ceiling, generous windows, and French doors that enhance the home’s timeless character. The kitchen offers ample space for cooking and gathering, complete with granite countertops, a gas range, and plenty of storage and prep space. Just beyond, elegant double French doors open to a large covered deck overlooking the lush backyard—an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing year-round. The home features four well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a private primary suite with a walk-in closet and an upgraded en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and an oversized shower. French doors from the suite lead directly to the expansive backyard, where mature fruit trees—Meyer lemon, navel orange, guava, and a large avocado tree—create a serene, garden-like retreat. Additional upgrades include newer roof and tankless water heater, plantation shutters, a whole-house fan, central HVAC, updated electrical and plumbing as well as fixtures, a newer electrical panel, and a Nest thermostat. Conveniently located near Downtown Santa Ana, the Artist Village, and South Coast Plaza, this home offers both character and comfort in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
