Tucked away in a quiet location in the highly popular Gainsborough Complex, this spacious Orange home offers room to live, work, and grow! With over 2,600 SF, you’ll find 5 bedrooms + an office & an additional flexible room perfect for a playroom or fitness room. Flooded with natural light, the formal living room enjoys cathedral ceilings & a full wall of windows overlooking the pool area. The main floor has 3 bedrooms & a full bath + powder room. The all white kitchen has a newer double oven & adjacent indoor laundry room. Upstairs is 2 oversized bedrooms + a separate, full bath. There is a full finished attic (not included in SF) for extra storage or living space. Sitting on an oversized 10,400 SF lot, the backyard features a pool plus ample room to add an ADU & an enclosed storage area. Fresh interior paint gives the home a clean, move-in ready feel, while major upgrades like an all new whole house drain repipe & tankless water heater, double paned windows/doors and a newer HVAC system provide peace of mind. Ideally located within walking distance to local schools, including the nearby magnet program. Low tax rate. No Mello-Roos. No HOA dues. Homes in this community rarely come on the market. This is an outstanding opportunity.
