Fully Approved and Permit Ready House Remodel Plans! A thoughtfully reimagined residence nestled in the highly desirable north east quadrant of the Old Town Orange Historic District where historic character, modern comfort, and future value converge. This home presents a rare, meaningful value-add opportunity to own a home in the Old Town Orange Historic District with . Fully approved, permit ready house remodel plans envision an approximately 180-square-foot addition to the home to create a future 3 bedroom, 3 bath layout with a luxurious primary suite, walk-in closet, and spa-style primary bath. Separately, the approximately 300 sqft garage that is proposed for conversion to an ADU is in final review phase for city approval and permits. This would present the potential for a total of 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and approximately 1,729 square feet of living space on the premises.

Major system upgrades include new PEX plumbing, a new HVAC system and ducting throughout the home, and a Noritz tankless water heater. Professionally leveled floors, new laminate flooring, fresh interior texture and paint, and exterior paint provide a polished foundation for everyday living. The private grounds have been transformed into a lush English garden inspired retreat, with more than 80 new plants, commercial-grade Netafim drip irrigation, fresh mulch, and decomposed-granite pathways throughout the lot. Three mature, highly productive fruit trees (apple, orange, and lemon) complete the setting.
Phenomenal location being a little over a 1/2 mile to everything in Old Town Orange whether local eats or shopping, approximately 3/4 mile to Chapman University, and 1 mile to the 55 freeway.
