Timeless character and charm meet a versatile floor plan in this Washington Square gem, with generous living space well suited for extended family or a home office! Freshly painted inside and out, with newly refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and period details throughout this one feels like home! A formal entry greets you with a handsome wood front door with a classic peekaboo window. The painted front porch, framed in brick with iron accents, sets a warm, storybook tone for the home's curb appeal. Mature hedges, fragrant jasmine, and lilies of the Nile add old-world garden appeal. The expansive living room centers on a traditional brick fireplace, flanked by large windows with inviting views to the backyard and patio. The formal dining room is finished with elegant wainscoting-style molding, lending a refined touch to everyday entertaining. The kitchen is full of personality and natural light, with ceramic tile counters, ample workspace, and rich wood cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances bring a modern edge to the classic design, while the breakfast nook makes a cozy spot for morning. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 5th bedroom/office option, the floor plan offers real versatility. The front bedrooms showcase original hardwood floors & large mullioned windows. The primary suite is a true retreat, with hardwood flooring, shutters, built-in cabinetry, and an ensuite bath. Remodeled hall bath features beautiful wood-style tile flooring, a walk-in shower with pebble-stone flooring and accents, and sky-blue tile finishing out the vanity. The back two rooms have brand-new carpet: a wood-paneled bedroom/office with a tandem bedroom behind it, plus a wall of closets for generous storage. With two separate exterior access points, a French door and a period glass-paned door, this section of the home lends itself beautifully to a private guest suite, home office, or attached apartment-style setup. The detached 2-car garage provides extra storage and a dedicated workshop area, ideal for hobbyists or side projects. Outside, the patio serves as a natural extension of the living and kitchen spaces for relaxing or entertaining. Washington Square, a neighborhood of nearly century-old homes, offers a welcoming community with social events and proximity to the 5, 22, 57, and 55 freeways, OC School of the Arts (OCSA), Santa Ana College, and downtown Santa Ana and Old Towne Orange, make this a must see!
