Property Description
Built in 1915 on Santiago St when the area was farmland, the TIDBALL house remains a resolute testament to history. This California craftsman bungalow, celebrated for its original doors, windows, floors, & structure, holds a cherished place in the historical registry. Notably, its affiliation with the historical commission grants a remarkable advantage: an agreement under the Mills Act, ensuring substantial property tax savings while preserving both history and your financial resources. Beyond the uniqueness of the house, the neighborhood itself evokes nostalgia. Park Santiago neighbors stroll tree-lined streets, tend to their yards, & share warm greetings. This pristine enclave in Orange County exudes pride of ownership, with a touch of history evident in other homes as well. The location offers convenience—cycle to old towne Orange, swiftly reach Santa Ana's new 4th street Promenade, or effortlessly access major freeways, given the central positioning amid L.A., O.C., beaches, & mountains. Originally boasting 3 bedrooms & 1 bath, the Tidball house underwent a transformation in the 1950s, becoming a 2 bedroom, 1 bath abode. This alteration turned a small kitchen into a spacious & timeless space. The kitchen over looks a sprawling backyard, adorned with 4 mature pine trees, the yard conveys the ambiance of a grand park. The landscaped backyard with so much room, provides the canvas for myriad dreams—a garage apartment, a pool—limited only by your imagination. The elongated driveway caters to your vehicles, RV, or trailer. A 17’ x 7'’ workshop shed, meticulously designed to mirror the house's architecture, adds utility to the property. Meanwhile, a 10’ x 12’ Tuff Shed, nestled in the back corner of the generous lot, has transformed into an air-conditioned home office & music room. A bathroom overhaul in 2017 is a showcase of refinement, featuring Mission Concepts' custom cabinetry, a copper sink, granite countertop, & exquisite painted cement floor tiles. The kitchen, adorned with original cabinets & vintage handles, even houses a "California cooler" cabinet—an ingenious relic that channels cool air from the crawl space, naturally cooling the pantry, in-line with the era's practices. While the water heater, plumbing, electrical systems, heating, & AC have seen updates over the years, the original splendor of wood floors and built-in cabinetry remains undiminished. This home offers a myriad of facets to explore and appreciate. A one-of-a-kind gem!
