Come have a peek this rare diamond while there is a very short window to see, for now! Blessed and proud to present this charming, quintessential California Ranch Style house still holding on to all of its original craft. In a slow & breezy enclave lined with London Plane trees within North Santa Ana's coveted West Floral Park. The home was built by Thomas Shoen in 1955 for Mr. Ronald Anderson, who was Board member for Santa Ana Library when the new central building was constructed. This home has been owned and meticulously cared for by only his family ever since. The property is adorned with lush palm trees and has a raised foundation on a large corner lot. Characteristically for a ranch style: sprawling façade with wide porch & classic breezeway, fluid layout and lots of glass connecting the interior to natural light & the outdoors. With enchanting trim & diamond-patterned muntins. The oak hardwood floors still live beneath the pre-2000 redecoration carpet. The vintage kitchen features mahogany cabinetry and built-ins ironing board nook & Thermador range. It opens up via the dynamic breakfast bar to the family room with beautiful teak flooring and a central, stately fireplace. With the original exterior, the home maintains eligibility to apply for historical property designation & MILLS ACT property tax savings. Or, for a more modern touch to the spaces, square footage can be added to south end of home and the opening between family & living room can be widened. FLOOR PLAN - available upon request. For privacy or multigenerational living, there is a bedroom & bathroom on a separate side of the home. There is direct access to the backyard & covered patio from that north hall, as well as the living room and rear bedroom. The backyard is a retreat experience that still carries the legacy of the area’s citrus past. Host a barbecue or cool off with a lemonade and good book in the patio, surrounded by your private grove of mature Valencia orange, tangerine, lemon and avocado trees. Or enjoy a morning coffee on the porch, while saying hello to great neighbors. There is additional storage in the second attic space over the 2 car garage. Intimate community with home/garden, holiday & other social events. Close to Santiago K-8 Elementary School and location central to Orange County with quick access to 5 & 22 Freeways; proximity to daily convenience/dining, as well as local malls (MainPlace & The Outlets @ Orange) and Disneyland.
