Welcome to the Ash Street Cottage community which is located a few steps from beautiful downtown of Brea and the Birch Street Promenade. Situated on arguably the best lot in the development at the end of a private cul-de-sac, with one of the largest lots and backyards, exquisite upgrades and landscaping - this is a must see home. As you approach the home down a private walkway under an arched trellis covered in lush vines opening to the private front patio - the charming nature of the cottage feel of this home invites you inside where you are greeted with high ceilings, beautifully remodeled kitchen and open floor plan that features living and dining rooms with tons of natural light. With a truly open floor plan on the downstairs level, the chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances on quartzite countertops over custom cabinetry, a walk in pantry, raised bar with seating, ceiling level windows and recessed lighting. The living room with open dining room has a glass sliding door that leads out to one of the biggest backyards in the community. Brand new patio cover with electric drop down blinds on all sides, recessed lights, and ceiling fan make this backyard an entertainers paradise. Upstairs bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and views of the community greenbelt. The loft upstairs has been converted into a custom gym can be used as 4th bedroom or office. Walk to Downtown Brea's Birch Street with shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, Improv, and more!

This 2-story home has been updated inside and shows very well. Very bright home with plenty of natural light. All of the bedrooms are upstairs. The laundry hookups are also upstairs. There is a 2 car attached garage. The kitchen opens up nicely to...
the family room and dining room. Some street noise is noticeable outside.

Highly Desirable community of the Ash Street Cottages which is located a few minutes from the wonderful downtown Brea area. This is the model that was designed to be a 3 bedroom with a large bonus room upstairs. The original owners had 4 children so had the house made to a 5 bedroom home ( easy to convert back). Featuring one of the largest (if not the largest) backyards in the community. Multiple fruit trees including apple, orange, pomegranate, lemon, lime, a rose garden area, etc. New paint and new carpet has just been installed. Wood laminate floors throughout the downstairs. New ceiling fan and light fixture downstairs. The floorplan is open with high ceilings and the kitchen looks out at the living room and dining room. The dining room has a glass sliding door that leads out to the oversized entertaining backyard. Cute front porch accommodates a table and chairs. Set back at the end of a cul-de-sac, this is an ideal location. 2 car attached garage with direct access. Inside laundry. The home backs a section of the Tracks at Brea Trail that is scheduled to be done in 2017. Walk Score: 73 Walk to Downtown Brea's Birch Street with shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, Improv, and more!

Local insights from Redfin agents
Brea sits between Fullerton value and Yorba Linda prestige, and right now the sharp pricers are winning. Sellers launching at 2022 numbers are sitting 60-90 days; the ones priced to sell go fast. If you're buying in North OC, give Brea a serious look...
