Santa Ana, California 92705
This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $949,900, positioned above the $847,838 Fair Market Value. While the property lacks immediate equity, its 7,581 sqft lot and Fair Condition Rating offer significant value-add potential through modernization. The home features preserved hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace, providing a solid foundation for renovation. Given the Santa Ana Unified school district location and ADU potential, this is a strategic acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking to build long-term value through cosmetic upgrades.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, the property is well-maintained but features an original 'vintage' kitchen and 'period' bathroom that are over 20 years old. While the hardwood floors are preserved and the exterior is clean, the lack of modern renovations to the kitchen and baths places it in the fair category.
Situated in the highly sought-after Portola Park neighborhood, the property offers exceptional curb appeal with its storybook jacaranda-lined street and close proximity to Old Towne Orange and Chapman University.
The expansive 7,581 sqft lot provides rare versatility, featuring mature fruit trees and ample space for a potential Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a substantial backyard oasis.
The home features beautifully maintained original hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, and vintage charm that provides a warm and authentic mid-century aesthetic.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration and 1,021 sqft footprint may be restrictive for growing families or buyers seeking a modern primary suite.
The 'vintage charm' of the kitchen and bathroom suggests that the property likely requires significant cosmetic updates or full renovations to meet contemporary luxury standards.
Welcome to this charming SINGLE-STORY home nestled in the highly sought-after Portola Park neighborhood. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking canopy of mature jacaranda trees lining the street, creating a picturesque setting that feels straight out of a storybook. Step inside and immediately fall in love with the beautifully preserved HARDWOOD FLOORS that add warmth and character throughout the home. The spacious living room is filled with natural light from large windows that showcase neighborhood views, while a classic BRICK FIREPLACE creates the perfect gathering space for cozy evenings.

The kitchen is full of VINTAGE CHARM, featuring classic tile countertops, a gas stove, and convenient indoor laundry with space for a side-by-side washer and dryer. The hallway offers additional storage, a full bathroom with delightful period details, and two comfortable bedrooms. One bedroom features a single closet, while the other boasts two closets for added storage. Outside, the possibilities continue. A detached 2-CAR GARAGE is complemented by an EXTRA-LONG DRIVEWAY providing ample additional parking. The generous backyard offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, or garden, while the expansive rear portion of the lot features mature fruit trees, including an avocado tree.
