Mid-Century Charmer with Single-Level Living Just Minutes from Old Towne Orange!
If you’ve been searching for a classic single-story home with character, convenience, and space—welcome home. Located on the edge of Old Towne Orange and just minutes from CHOC, UCI Medical Center, St. Joseph’s, and major freeways, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mid-century gem offers 1,568 square feet of living space on an expansive 8,412 square foot lot.
Step inside to a grand living room with luxury vinyl plank flooring and a statement painted stone fireplace. Hosting is a breeze in the extra-long dining room, perfect for gathering friends and family—with a sliding glass door that opens to the covered back patio, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience. The bright kitchen offers plenty of painted cabinetry, a casual dining nook, and views of the peaceful backyard.
A separate laundry room leads to the spacious primary suite, where the ensuite bath retains its iconic Atomic Starburst tile—original and beautifully preserved. A fresh coat of paint, updated mirror, and new toilet complement the vintage vibe.
All three bedrooms feature original, beautifully refinished narrow-plank hardwood floors and rich wood doors. The hall bathroom exudes the timeless appeal of First Lady Pink tile, updated flooring, modern lighting, fresh hardware, and a new toilet—all blending retro flair with modern function.
Each bedroom includes custom built-in closets with cabinets, drawers, and hanging space. One bedroom stands out with playful wallpapered closet doors and a showstopping starburst light fixture.
Step outside to your private backyard retreat. A covered patio looks out over lush, mature landscaping including trumpet vines, palms, and a blooming plumeria tree. The detached two-car garage with attached carport offers gated access and is ripe with potential—convert it to an ADU with its own backyard or keep it as storage and workspace. A generous garden area with tangerine and Fuji apple trees, a large shed, and a covered space offers endless possibilities for urban gardening or outdoor entertaining.
Enjoy proximity to the heart of Orange—famous for its International Street Fair and award-winning eateries, Mother’s Market, and the upcoming Trader Joe’s. This is single-level living with soul and style in one of Orange County’s most beloved neighborhoods.
