A rare opportunity to own a spacious two-story home with classic Colonial Revival influences in one of Santa Ana's most beloved neighborhoods, offered for under $1 million. Cherished by the same family since 1979, this Washington Square residence offers generous living space, thoughtful updates, and a chance to become part of one of Orange County's most treasured communities.
With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and approximately 2,145 square feet of living space, the home welcomes you with fresh interior paint, new flooring, and a versatile floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The front living room flows into a formal dining room and a spacious family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The updated kitchen features a beautiful window overlooking the backyard and is conveniently located near the laundry room and an updated bathroom on the main level.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including a primary suite with views of the backyard and its own updated private bathroom. One of the secondary bedrooms enjoys direct access to a long balcony, a favorite gathering spot for the family over the years and even a front-row seat to the 1984 Olympic Torch Relay as it passed through the neighborhood. A second updated bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Set on a generous 6,585 square foot lot, the backyard has been enhanced with drought-tolerant landscaping and offers ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, storage, or potential future ADU opportunities (buyer to verify). Enjoy mature kumquat, pomegranate, and lemon trees. Parking is abundant with a two-car garage, additional parking behind the garage, and an extended side driveway that has previously accommodated RV parking.
Recent improvements include a roof replaced approximately seven years ago, an updated HVAC system, newer gutters, and a water heater installed in January 2026.
Located in the heart of Washington Square, residents enjoy tree-lined streets, neighborhood traditions, holiday celebrations, community dinners, parades, and gatherings that contribute to the strong sense of community. Just minutes from Downtown Santa Ana's dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, this home offers the character, space, and neighborhood setting that make Washington Square such a special place to call home.
