Property is move-in ready.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While originally built in 1952, it has undergone significant updates including a newer primary suite, dual-zoned HVAC, and solar tubes. The kitchen features high-end appliances (Fisher Paykel, Bosch) and custom cabinetry, and though the aesthetic (granite, white appliances, glass block) reflects a renovation from approximately 15-20 years ago, the overall quality and lack of deferred maintenance meet the 'good' criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11340, living area = 2500.
The property features a substantial 830 sq. ft. workshop/ADU space with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a 3/4 bath, providing exceptional flexibility for a home business, guest quarters, or a creative studio.
Situated on a highly desirable, tree-lined street within walking distance to historic Old Towne Orange, the home offers a rare combination of neighborhood prestige and urban walkability.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
The 1952 construction utilizes a utility basement for HVAC and water heating, which may present accessibility or modernization challenges compared to contemporary residential designs.
With a list price near $2 million for 2,500 square feet of primary living space, the property is positioned at a high price-per-square-foot that may test the upper limits of the local market.
