Such a lovely home located in the heart of Brea bordering Fullerton with great shopping and great freeway access. The home has been expanded with a second bath and family room making it a very comfortable home to have everyone over for parties and get togethers. Speaking of get togethers, lets plan some pool parties!! What a fabulous backyard for entertaining! The large backyard with huge covered patio is perfect for entertaining. The Pebbletech pool is saline and has waterfall features. The jacuzzi is a perfect size for several people to get cozy but not too big to heat up in a short time. The home has been upgraded with a 200 amp electrical panel, double pane windows, C/A and heat, and the kitchen was updated with with Cherry cabinets and Corian counters approximately 8 years ago. Other great features are wood floors, canned lighting, newer 4 yr fence and lots of storage through out. Don't miss this opportunity to have this expanded pool home in the heart of Brea for a great price!!

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...
