Owned and enjoyed by the same family since 1964, this 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home has been well loved and taken care of for over 61 years. The home is nestled in a quiet location at the rear of the tract and it sits on a larger-than-average lot. Plenty of space to add a pool in this expansive backyard. And plenty of living space inside this single story home (1484 square feet per the tax assessor) with lots of nice amenities too...starting with an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters, loads of cabinets AND a roomy pantry. There's a large kitchen dining bar that opens to the SPACIOUS great room with vaulted ceilings that showcase beautiful, exposed wood beams and a gas fireplace that is framed by an expansive rock hearth and surround. And this home also has a separate formal living room and a separate enclosed back patio located just off of the great room. Lots of areas to spread out and relax and entertain here. One of the 4 bedrooms was converted into a den, and it is located conveniently off the living room. Double entry doors were added to this room and the closet space is now one of two book shelves. It is the perfect space for a home office, library or a playroom...OR...you might think about converting this room once more to make it part of a massive primary bedroom suite...there are great possibilities for utilizing this space. The primary bedroom has an ensuite half bath. Two additional bedrooms are located down the hall, one of which has both a single hall entry door and double french doors that open to the enclosed back patio. There have been other updates over the years as well: The main hall bathroom was redone and boasts a stylish oversized shower with custom tile work and granite counters. Most of the original windows were replaced with dual pane and the roof was replaced in 2020. The water heater was replaced in 2018. Exterior stucco was painted in 2020. Brick capped hardscaping was added throughout the front yard of the home and there are both front and back lawns for people and pets to play...PLUS a beautiful orchid tree that blooms out in front. This home is ready for a new owner to come build a legacy and make it their own. **Centrally located in the Newport-Mesa School District and just moments from major freeways, South Coast Plaza, The CAMP and other nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment.
