About this home

Two homes on one property! Live in one, rent the other! This is an amazing opportunity in the popular South Brea neighborhood. The front house has 2 bedrooms(could be 3 bedrooms) and 1 bath, the back house has 1 bedroom and 1 bath. Not only that, but these homes sit on a HUGE lot that allow you to add on, create outdoor living spaces or a pool. This is a family owned property that has not been on the market in over 30 years! Front house has original hardwood floors, an eat-in kitchen, and a large enclosed patio that now serves as a family room with fireplace. The roof on both units has been replaced with permits in the last 10 years, so they have plenty of life left. The back house has two living areas and a separate bedroom with 3/4 bath. The garage conversion area has a kitchen as well as its own laundry hook ups. Both properties run off of one electrical, water and gas meter. Walking distance to the popular downtown Brea area with shopping, movies, and restaurants. Located in the excellent and award winning Brea school district too! Don't wait! Make an offer today!
