Offered for the first time since 1977, 4244 E. Ruth Place presents a rare opportunity to own a well-cared-for single-story home in the City of Orange. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,500 square feet of living space on a generous 6,900 square foot lot, blending comfort, functionality, and long-term potential. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by inviting curb appeal, a spacious driveway, and a 3-car garage—an exceptional feature. The custom wood inlay double entry doors create a warm and inviting first impression. Inside, the home offers a flexible and comfortable layout, featuring a formal living room with a cozy gas fireplace that can easily serve as a family room, additional living space, or bonus area. The formal dining area is generously sized and versatile, with the ability to function as a second living room while still accommodating an eat-in dining setup. The kitchen is both functional and upgraded, featuring a Bosch double oven, induction cooktop, and a bar seating area that comfortably seats three—perfect for everyday living and casual gatherings. Additional interior improvements include updated bathrooms with quartz countertops, a newer water heater, fresh interior paint, new carpet, and updated fixtures, giving the home a move-in ready feel. A spacious, dedicated laundry room adds to the home’s everyday practicality, while convenient attic access provides additional storage. Step outside to a private backyard designed for both relaxation and entertaining, complete with a saltwater pool and in-ground spa, mature landscaping, and fruit trees including two orange trees and a Meyer lemon. A sprinkler system is already in place for easy maintenance. This is a home that has been truly cared for over the years and is now ready for its next chapter. Opportunities like this—offering space, flexibility, and pride of ownership—rarely come to market in such a desirable Orange neighborhood. Leased solar panels are in place and will need to be transferred to the new owner.
