3 Bedroom, 2 bath on large corner lot! Amazing location it is close to EVERYthing and sits right in the heart of a very cozy community! Just a stone's throw to shops, restaurants, schools, parks, and Brea Creek golf course and more! Easy access to transportation, freeways, bus lines, etc. The home also has an amazing floor plan - light and bright and open flowing - bedrooms are good size and run along one side of the home - the other off the entry has a large living room with a great stone fireplace - formal dining off kitchen and sitting area with slider to the yard. Oranges and lemons just waiting! Large 2 car garage too!! Corner lot location and nice wide streets and curbs. THIS IS TRULY A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH- it needs polishing but would be well worth it - the bones of the home seem strong!! The lot is approximately 8000 sf - needs to be landscaped but this will enhance it even more!
