Santa Ana Home Sale

In 1939 R W Haysel built this custom home in what was known as Knob Hill. The Minimal Transitional style with white clabbered siding all around is now know as "Cottage" style today. The neighborhood is now called Park Santiago. Loaded with vintage quality and charm this home has been upgraded with modern systems that bring peace of mind. The picket fence and roses welcome you as you walk up a flagstone path past a mature Podocarpus tree to the brick front porch. The front yard is a wonderful spot to chat with neighbors or watch your kids play. Step inside and discover the original Oak hardwood floors and a traditional Federal style mantle in the bright living room. A good size dining room opens to a bright all new kitchen. The current owners tackled this project first first by adding a skylight and opening up walls to create a new heart of the home. Enjoy cooking and entertaining in this space with a large center island and 5 burner gas cooktop, the bar area has a second sink and wine fridge. The farm house sink and quartz counters make clean up a breeze. A small walk in pantry will keep you organized. Beyond the kitchen is a cozy Den added in 1975 by a prior owner. It leads to the back yard and garage. There are 2 bedrooms and one bath in the front of the house. A true main bedroom was added by the original owner with double closets, a private bath and a bonus side room perfect for a nursery or office.

The back yard is pretty simple today with lawn, a kids play area, chicken coop with chickens! 3 raised planters that are loaded with tomatoes and more. What would you do back here?
