Property Description

This wasn't supposed to be for sale. The sellers poured everything into this glam mid-century remodel and planned to stay and host parties, bike on the nearby trails, and unwind in their spacious retreat. Then their dream home came along, and they couldn't say no. Now it's your turn. This is the single-story pool home you've been waiting for and features $200K in upgrades, making this home a rare exception. Located in an established Orange neighborhood, this home has the 3 L's: Location, light & layout. Quiet yet centrally located, you're minutes from Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, scenic hiking and biking trails, Eisenhower Park, and sought-after schools. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, inviting feel — a hallmark of mid-century design, where indoors and out were always meant to blur. The living room's shiplap ceilings and modern gas fireplace with sparkling fire glass set a sophisticated tone, while the step-up dining room nods to the home's 1960's construction. The remodeled kitchen features matte porcelain counters, a high-end induction stove, new stainless fridge and dishwasher, and brass and acrylic hardware, flowing seamlessly into the family room and outdoor entertaining space. The primary suite feels like a boutique hotel retreat with a remodeled designer bathroom — freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, heated bidet toilet, smart mirror, terrazzo tile, and a walk-in closet rare for a home of this era. New interior doors and upgraded baseboards carry the elevated feel throughout. The secondary bathroom impresses with a curb-less walk-in shower, new vanity, smart toilet, and penny tile floors, plus direct backyard access — perfect for pool days and evenings in the spa. This backyard was built for entertaining: a retro pool and built-in spa with vintage tile, a water feature, outdoor bar, BBQ area with gas and power, and a covered patio. The pool filter was recently replaced. Other highlights: solar panels, dual-pane windows, smart blinds, whole-house fan, water softener, EV charging outlet, attic storage, and a finished 2-car garage with epoxied floor, storage room (possible office), and laundry sink. Don't miss the hidden door in the third bedroom concealing a secret closet! Beautifully updated while maintaining its authentic 1960's character, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey single-story home over 1,800 square feet with exceptional hosting space in one of the most central locations of Orange.
