Ultra quiet location half a block from the entrance to the Santa Ana River Trail, which most people use for jogging and cycling. Built in 1976, this 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home is just under 2,400 sq ft and sits upon a sprawling 12,197 sq foot lot (.28/acre), with 28 trees.

Just off the kitchen is a casual dining area with tile floor, and a spacious carpeted family room with plantation window shutters, corner brick gas fireplace, and a built-in shelving unit, and surround sound speakers (wiring is in shelving unit waiting to be installed). Separate laundry room with cabinetry, and a half bath downstairs, in addition to direct house access from attached 2-car garage.

Upstairs you’ll be delighted with a huge master bedroom suite that swallows a California king size bed, with private bathroom with dual sinks, large closet, soaking tub and separate shower stall. Hallway bathroom boasts dual sinks, tile floor, and tiled shower enclosure. Two more large bedrooms upstairs, one with beamed ceiling, and both with large walk-in closets.

Large backyard with plum, apricot, orange, and lime trees, in addition to an above-ground pool, fenced area for spa, built-in propane BBQ, newer patio cover, propane fire pit, water fountains (one in front yard, one in back yard), shed and greenhouse.

On one side of the house you’ll find newer sidewalk and fenced dog run, and on other side of house you’ll find a gated RV parking area.

Current homeowners are only the second owners and have loved living here, but it’s time for retirement. Sad to go, but love the neighborhood and neighbors.
