Welcome to 528 E Palmyra Avenue, a beautifully maintained 1914 Craftsman located in a prime Old Towne Orange location, just a short stroll to the historic Plaza with its popular shops, dining, and entertainment. Originally built as a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home, this residence underwent a thoughtfully designed expansion in the 1980s that seamlessly blends vintage character with modern livability.
Much of the homes original charm remains intact, including rich hardwood floors, original wood windows, built in cabinetry, vintage light fixtures, and period door hardware. The formal dining room features a built in buffet and custom stained glass, setting the tone for the homes timeless elegance.
A large family room addition at the rear of the home provides an ideal gathering space, complete with a brick faced wood burning fireplace and custom built ins. The expanded kitchen offers generous space for cooking and entertaining, with a breakfast counter, dining nook, and handcrafted Saltillo tile floors.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace, walk in closet, and an en suite bath featuring granite countertops. The main level bathroom showcases beautiful tile work and a classic pedestal sink.
Enjoy year round comfort with central air conditioning, and relax in the tranquil, private backyard oasis. The barn style detached two car garage, with alley access, is currently used as a Pilates / dance studio and includes a full bath, ceiling fans and a window air conditioning unit offering potential for a creative workspace, home gym or a game room. Open the large barn door to create the perfect indoor / outdoor entertaining space. A separate storage shed at the rear of the yard could easily be converted into a small office or studio.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Old Towne history, lovingly updated for todays lifestyle.
