Welcome to 528 E Palmyra Avenue, a beautifully maintained 1914 Craftsman located in a prime Old Towne Orange location, just a short stroll to the historic Plaza with its popular shops, dining, and entertainment. Originally built as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, this residence underwent a thoughtfully designed expansion in the 1980s that seamlessly blends vintage character with modern livability.
Much of the home’s original charm remains intact, including rich hardwood floors, original wood windows, built-in cabinetry, vintage light fixtures, and period door hardware. The formal dining room features a built-in buffet and custom stained glass, setting the tone for the home’s timeless elegance.
A large family room addition at the rear of the home provides an ideal gathering space, complete with a brick-faced wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins. The expanded kitchen offers generous space for cooking and entertaining, with a breakfast counter, dining nook, and handcrafted Saltillo tile floors.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath featuring granite countertops. The main-level bathroom showcases beautiful tile work and a classic pedestal sink.
Enjoy year-round comfort with central air conditioning, and relax in the tranquil, private backyard oasis. The barn style detached two-car garage, with alley access, is currently used as a Pilates / dance studio and includes a full bath, ceiling fans and a window air conditioning unit , offering potential for a creative workspace, home gym or a game room. Open the large barn door to create the perfect indoor / outdoor entertaining space. A separate storage shed at the rear of the yard could easily be converted into a small office or studio.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Old Towne history, lovingly updated for today’s lifestyle.
