Good news! RARE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN ORANGE HILLS! Imagine a duplex on a spacious 18,000-square-foot lot with approximate 2800 living space—a fantastic opportunity to boost your investment! You could live in one side while you plan your next project, or lease both units for instant, steady cash flow. Located in the highly desirable Orange Hills area, just south of Chapman, this unique property offers stunning views of the iconic Orange County Mining Co. hills. This duplex is on a large lot, giving you the flexibility to turn it into an additional ADU building. Each of the two identical units, about 1400 square feet, features a spacious, mirror-image layout with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private bath wall, so you can create the perfect setup for an owner-occupant. One side has always been a rental for years on a comfortable 5,000-square-foot lot, providing immediate cash flow. The other side is a well-maintained, owner-occupied unit on a huge 13,000-square-foot lot. The yard is absolutely beautiful, filled with fruit trees like apples, oranges, pomegranates, and lemons, giving it that vineyard feel with a serene and peaceful atmosphere. This massive yard is the perfect canvas for developers to add detached units, build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), or restructure the parcel to maximize unit density. Enjoy immediate peace of mind and reduced capital expenditures—the sellers are currently installing a brand-new roof, scheduled to be fully completed by the end of this month! Bring your contractor, check the zoning rules, and secure a great return on your investment today! Drive-by only to start.
