About this home
PRIME LOCATION HISTORIC HOME WITH THOUGHTFUL UPGRADES. This registered historical landmark under the Mills Act offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Brea’s history while benefiting from significant property tax savings. While savings vary by city, the Mills Act often reduces taxes by 40% to 60% for qualifying properties. Solar panels help keep energy costs down, and the property offers flexibility for future income with the potential to add multiple ADUs. Situated on a spacious 7,000 square foot lot with rear vehicular access, the property is ideal for RV or boat parking. Known as the Glen Dunkle House #54, this 1923 home is located within the Redwood Avenue Historic Area and is recognized by the Brea Historical Society. The two bedroom home blends original character with practical updates. Interior highlights include a tiled fireplace, new laminate flooring, fresh paint, cedar lined closets, ceiling fans, and abundant natural light throughout. Handmade stained glass windows and a hand painted kitchen backsplash add unique, one of a kind character you will not find in newer homes. The bathroom features a clawfoot tub, walk in shower, and timeless tile finishes. The kitchen is equipped with butcher block countertops, an island, ample cabinetry, and connects to an indoor laundry room and pantry. A covered outdoor room adds approximately 200 square feet of additional usable space. The backyard is filled with charm, offering fruit trees, a pond, stone walkways, and storage sheds. There is also access to a detached two car garage with potential for a studio, office, expanded garage, or ADU conversion. Additional upgrades include new AC and ducting, rear gated access, and solar panels. Located just moments from Downtown Brea, Brea Mall, shopping, dining, civic amenities, and highly rated schools....
