✨ A Home With Heart, History, and Modern Comforts
Step through the front door and into a thoughtfully designed space where timeless style meets smart upgrades. The heart of the home is a custom chef’s kitchen, complete with granite countertops and quality appliances—perfect for gathering with family or hosting friends. The living room invites you in with beamed ceilings, plank wood flooring, and oversized windows that frame views of the lush, landscaped backyard.
You’ll find 3 full bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, plus a converted breezeway-turned-office—ideal for today’s remote or hybrid lifestyle. And while the home retains the character of its original 1950s build, recent improvements include a brand new HVAC system (installed just last month), full copper repiping, a whole-house water softener, upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, and an efficient 12-zone sprinkler system. This is true turnkey living in a home that’s stood the test of time.
🌳 Welcome to a Piece of Tustin’s Legacy
The story of 14691 Leon Place begins in the early 1950s when Lillian and Leon Lauderbach transformed their former orange grove into a quiet residential retreat. They commissioned Hugh Neighbor Jr., one of Tustin’s most respected builders at the time, to create a small collection of custom ranch homes that captured the postwar optimism and California charm of the era.
Today, the neighborhood maintains that same warm, small-town energy—with tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and a feeling of pride that’s hard to find elsewhere. You’re walking distance from top-rated Guin Foss Elementary, Columbus Tustin Middle, and Foothill High School. Just minutes away is Old Town Tustin, where historic architecture meets a buzzing local scene with artisan coffee shops, family-run restaurants, and beloved seasonal events like Dino Dash, the Tustin Tiller Days Parade, and Tustin Art Walk.
Fun fact: This part of Tustin was once blanketed in orange and avocado groves, and remnants of that agricultural history still shape the landscape and community feel today.
🏆 Investment Potential & Market Scarcity
Single-level ranch homes on large cul-de-sac lots are extremely rare in this pocket of Tustin. Even more rare? A property with legacy ownership, substantial lot size, modern mechanical updates, and historical cachet. In today’s competitive market, where inventory remains tight and quality listings move fast, 14691 Leon Place stands out as a unique opportunity to secure a long-term investment in one of Orange County’s most enduring communities.
Whether you’re a multigenerational buyer, someone seeking a larger lot for future expansion, or simply a homeowner who appreciates timeless design and neighborhood heritage—this is the one.
