Welcome to a thoughtfully reimagined Placentia residence where timeless character meets elevated, designer-curated finishes. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home spans approximately 1,242 square feet and sits on a generous 7,245 square foot lot, offering both style and functionality in a single-story layout.
Originally built in 1908 and extensively improved, the home showcases a sophisticated interior palette of crisp whites, rich navy tones, and warm natural wood accents. A striking herringbone pattern flooring flows throughout, creating a cohesive, high-end aesthetic.
The redesigned kitchen features quartz countertops with elegant gold veining, paired with refined finishes that balance modern design with everyday functionality. Bathrooms have been fully upgraded with custom tile work inspired by spa-like environments, delivering a sense of calm and luxury.
The primary suite has been transformed into a true retreat, offering a beautiful ensuite bathroom with an improved layout and elevated finishes. Major system upgrades include new plumbing, roof, and windows, along with a reconfigured floor plan designed for modern living.
Step outside to a newly enhanced backyard designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a new deck, modern hardscape elements, and thoughtfully designed planters, all enclosed by new white vinyl fencing for a clean, finished look. The exterior is further elevated by a distinctive tri-color design, adding architectural depth and curb appeal.
Garage and carport are currently in progress and will be completed by close of escrow. Renderings of the completed improvements are available on site for buyer review.
Ideally located with a park directly across the street, just two blocks from Downtown Placentia’s shops, coffee spots, and restaurants, and approximately 5 minutes to California State University, Fullerton, this home offers both convenience and lifestyle in one of North Orange County’s most accessible pockets.
