About this home
Welcome home to this beautifully well-maintained single-story charmer in the heart of Garden Grove! Set on an expansive 7,200-square-foot lot, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence blends timeless character with room to grow. From the moment you arrive, the manicured front yard, mature landscaping, and warm curb appeal set the tone for what's inside.
Step through the door to a bright, welcoming living space filled with natural light and comfortable, easy-living flow. The functional kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space, ready for everyday meals and weekend gatherings alike. Three well-sized bedrooms provide restful retreats, while the two bathrooms serve the home with convenience and ease. Original details throughout give this home genuine warmth and personality, offering a wonderful canvas to make it your own.
The real showstopper is the outdoors. The generous backyard is a private oasis with plenty of open space for entertaining, gardening, play, or simply relaxing under the California sun. With a large lot and a deep rear yard, the possibilities are endless; imagine adding to the existing home or building a detached ADU in the back for extended family, guests, or potential rental income (buyer to verify with the city). This is the kind of space and flexibility that's increasingly rare and highly sought after.
Ideally located in a well-established Garden Grove neighborhood, you're just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, schools, and major commuter routes, with the best of Orange County right at your fingertips. Homes with this combination of charm, lot size, and future potential don't come along often. Come see it, fall in love, and picture the possibilities; your next chapter starts here!...
