This larger single-story home in the beautiful lower Raymond Hills neighborhood is highly sought after due to its location to Acacia Elementary, Troy High School and Cal State Fullerton. It offers the convenience of being walking distance to great schools and nearby parks. The house features a permitted 18 x 20 bonus room that is currently being used as a fourth bedroom. Additionally, there is an enclosed breezeway that provides extra space for a hangout area and an art/hobby room. The enclosure also includes a spacious attic area that could be converted into a loft. The owner has architect plans to transform the entire west side of the home into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering even more possibilities. The kitchen was remodeled in 2020 and boasts marble countertops and bright white cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large laundry room separated by a barn door, allowing for privacy when needed. The laundry area provides ample storage space. Some of the upgrades to the property include central air and heat, replacement of most windows, and professional landscaping in both the front and backyards. The front yard has been designed with Xeriscape, a low-maintenance and water-efficient landscaping method. The backyard has been enhanced with artificial turf, fruit trees, hardscape elements, and a beautiful fountain. Homes in this highly desirable area tend to sell quickly due to their location, amenities, and the investments made by the current owner.
