2009 Trask Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92706

You've found a true original sweetheart. Built in 1958 by the seller's husband out of love for his family, this well-imagined custom single-story ranch is one of the first homes in the neighborhood. It sits on a nearly 20,000 square foot private lot where Trask Avenue ends at Riverview Golf Course. A U-shaped driveway lined with citrus trees and framed by lush green lawn welcomes you home. Out back, a huge patio, pool, rose garden, and fire pit with a grilling spot are made for cooking cowboy steaks for your guests. Massive avocado trees, including Hass and Fuerte, provide shade in the front and back yards, while the children enjoy a playhouse with its own yard and teeter-totter. Chicken coop, storage shed, and two-car garage complete the package. The kitchen is beautifully maintained, with a gleaming cooktop and hood and charming custom tile. A walk-up bar with vintage barstools connects it to the entertainment room, just two steps down at the back of the house. A billiards table stood here for more than 50 years, so it's ready for your own game night, with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin tunes in the background. Then stroll out to the patio to relax and reminisce in the shade of the patio cover or under the enormous avocado trees. Wonderful memories are waiting to be made at this well-thought-out, very private property. Vintage character, room to roam, and rare privacy.
