Lifestyle & Design
From the moment you step through the extra-wide front door with its original center knob, you’re immersed in a world of clean lines, walls of glass, and indoor-outdoor flow—the hallmarks of true mid-century design. The home’s rectilinear layout wraps around a private pool, bringing natural light and lush views into nearly every room.
The heart of the home is a completely redesigned chef’s kitchen, outfitted with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and premium appliances. Period details like open-beam ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace are complemented by modern upgrades including new energy-efficient Anderson windows, tankless water heater, central A/C, and solar-heated pool system.
The main residence offers 2,011 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while a detached 327 sq. ft. casita provides the ultimate flex space—perfect as a guest retreat, private office, or future ADU conversion with its own bath and potential kitchenette.
Outdoors, the newly resurfaced pool, custom-covered patio, built-in lighting, fruit trees (avocado, tangerine, orange, lemon), and private garden create your own lush resort setting—perfect for alfresco dining and sunset gatherings.
Why Morrison Park?
Morrison Park is one of Santa Ana’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods, known for its collection of custom-built mid-century homes. Tree-lined streets, wide lots, and strong community pride make this one of North Santa Ana’s most desirable enclaves.
Local Heritage: Morrison Park was developed in the post-war era, when Santa Ana became a hub for custom architecture. Homes here were designed by notable local architects—including Ralph C. Day—making them sought-after by design enthusiasts.
Community Feel: Annual block parties, garden tours, and neighborhood gatherings foster a close-knit feel rarely found in today’s fast-paced OC lifestyle.
Convenience: Just minutes to CHOC & St. Joseph’s Hospital, MainPlace Mall, Downtown Santa Ana’s Artist Village, and Old Towne Orange. Easy freeway access connects you to LA, beaches, and John Wayne Airport in under 20 minutes.
Lifestyle Perks: Walk or bike to Santiago Park, local tennis courts, and multiple greenbelts that weave through the area.
Market Scarcity & Investment Appeal
Single-level, fully renovated mid-century homes with detached casitas in Morrison Park are extremely rare. With buyers increasingly drawn to architecturally significant homes and the OC market’s historically low inventory, this is a chance to secure a property that’s both a lifestyle upgrade and a long-term investment. In a market where many homes are remodeled without regard to their heritage, this residence stands apart—a true preservation of mid-century architecture with modern luxury woven in.
