About this home

Beautifully upgraded home in the Brea North Hills. The newly painted exterior and double door entry welcome you home to 978 Oakcrest Avenue. You will find new wide plank wood flooring with a dark stain throughout the entire home. The kitchen has been upgraded with recess lighting, built-in electric range, new cabinets with a classy/modern style. This floor plan is idyllic. 4 bedrooms, one on the main floor w/ bathroom, and a 5th bedroom upstairs has been opened up to become a spacious loft. The attic has been turned into an actual room with storage making the perfect office without having to convert one of the bedrooms. All bathrooms have been remodeled/updated. This home is in a wonderful neighborhood, no association fees, new interior paint, all new dual-paned windows, baseboards throughout, whole house fan and a covered patio on a great sized lot. The city of Brea boasts an award-winning school district amongst many other things! This great opportunity is one that will not last!
