Custom built in 1952 by Roy Russell this home sits on a deep lot with many fruit trees including a prolific Avocado! With traditional charm and many original details this home was expanded and updated by the prior owner in 1992. Traditional Architecture and a front porch welcome you. A new front door has been left unfinished so you can decide if it should be stained or painted. Step inside to a spacious Living & dining room with a picture window, original hardwood floors, crown molding and a period mantle & brick fireplace. The kitchen has dark wood cabinets with granite counters, a DCS gas range, hood, dishwasher, wine fridge, island and a copper ceiling. The kitchen opens to a small den with vaulted ceilings and a wall of French doors opening to the big back yard and patio. A mature Sycamore tree shades the back of the home. The back yard is divided into 2 area; a garden and large lawn area. Trees include: Large Avocado, Lime, Lemon, Plum, Pear, Peach, Apricot, Apple, Loquat, Almond & Pink Lemonade, also Artichokes, Lemon grass, 3 Crepe Myrtles, Sycamore, Honeysuckle, Camilas, Gardenias, 18 types of roses and more! A 2 car detached garage could possibly be expanded or room for an ADU. A shed behind the garage is handy for your yard equipment. Inside there are 3 bedrooms all private from each other and 2 baths. The hall has a pull down stair to the large attic. Roy Russell is well known in North Santa Ana for building quality homes people still love today. This home gets a great cross breeze but has AC for those really hot days. Park Santiago is a neighborhood of vintage, mostly custom homes with an amazing July 4th parade! A short walk to Santiago Park with tennis courts, lawn bowling, bike trails and more. Walk to Mother's market, restaurants and Main Place Mall. A short drive to Old Town Orange or DTSA for more dining options. This is a great neighborhood to walk the dog or go on a leisurely bike ride. This block of French is very low traffic and has some larger lots like this one. Enjoy listening to the birds and the cooling breeze at this comfy home.
