Single-story serenity awaits in this charming neighborhood of Orange. Nestled in a tranquil, quiet enclave south of Collins Ave, this home beckons with a white-fenced front yard, encouraging both privacy and whimsy. The landscaping provides a gentle buffer from the street and the portico lends a formal touch. * Step inside to find comfortable living with a large picture window facing the front lawn, a wood burning fireplace, abundant built-in cabinetry, crown molding, wood veneer floors, canned lighting, smooth ceilings, and the gentle breeze of ceiling fans throughout. Enjoy the indoor ambiance with plantation shutters gracing each window, allowing you to control the natural light that filters through double-pane vinyl windows. * The heart of this home is the oversized kitchen. It includes an island, granite counters, stainless-steel sink and stove hood, KitchenAid gas stove, and plenty of storage space. The adjacent family room/lounge gives access to the patio and backyard. * The flooring, fans, shutters, and crown molding continue into the bedrooms. The third bedroom provides access to the primary suite and can serve very well as an office, nursery, or reading room. The oversized primary suite offers ample closet space, ceiling fan, crown molding, and attached bath with large shower and a skylight. * Now, about that backyard: anyone up for a Blood Orange, Anna Apple, Red Baron Peach, or Blue Java Banana? You will delight in the backyard orchard adorned with multiple fruit trees, a boysenberry vine, and a coffee bean tree. With enough space for a solid wood storage shed, grass, fruit trees, and chimenea, the backyard provides solitude after a long day and a place to party with friendly neighbors on the weekend. * The beautifully finished garage, complete with a 3/4 bath and indoor laundry, is not included in the total square feet, but it does add approx. 400sf to the fun factor of bigger living and entertaining. The composition roof of 2018 and HVAC ductwork of 2021 are good to have in place on Day 1. Enjoy the convenience of Handy Park and Handy Elementary School, both just a stone's throw away. And bigtime shopping and world class entertainment all beckon in Old Towne Orange and nearby cities. You’ll fall in love with this comfortable home and pleasant neighborhood – it’s a wonderful and rare combination in a great city – come on down!
