2407 Oakmont Ave Santa Ana, CA 92706

Agent Remarks: Custom built in 1947 by Howard Lytle who lived there until the early 1960's this Modern Transitional home sits on the best street in Park Santiago: Oakmont Ave. Two past mayors and a city council person have chosen this stately cul-de-sac for their homes. Set back from the street you will notice several smaller trees that turn bright colors each fall; 3 Ginko, Red bud and mango. A front porch welcomes you home. Stepping through the Dutch door you enter into a true 1947 style home with a small formal entry and grand piano sized Living room with a paneled wall and original marble fireplace. A picture window looks out to the front porch and brings in abundant light. The Dining room also has a wall of glass overlooking the back yard. The kitchen was remodeled and opened up to the dining so there is a great flow in the principle rooms. Imagine entertaining here, hosting a group of friends or just relaxing by your wood burning fireplace. The current owner loves to read on the sofa looking out the picture window. You can see both the front and the back yards from the Living areas. The kitchen fits the space perfectly with quartz counters and custom cabinets. There is a good sized nook with a corner window and wainscoting. A 3/4 bath off the back door-perfect for when you are working in the back yard. There are 3 good sized bedrooms, one is used as a den and the closet was converted into a bookcase. Use either of the 2 bedrooms as a main bedroom, one faces the street and one the back yard. A large shared bath could possibly be split into 2 baths if needed. Let's talk about the back yard. The lot is over 9,000 sqft so there is a lot of space for your dreams, A patio next to the house opens to a small lawn area. next is a stone wall and fire pit circled by a boxwood hedge. Beyond that is a garden area with multiple fruit trees including Orange, Lemon, Pomegranate, Fig and more, Saving the best for last is the amazing 4 car garage. The tandem depth garage could possibly be used for many things: an adu? Home office/studio or gym. What would you do with this much space??? You will truly enjoy the sense of community in Park Santiago but especially on Oakmont where neighbors say hello and stop to chat. Park Santiago has a legendary 4th of July parade and many other events. If you are looking for something that is not cookie cutter this is it. Put down some roots in this amazing home and neighborhood. Santiago Park is undergoing a multimillion dollar renovation.
