Agent Remarks: Step into a world where history meets modern luxury in this enchanting Spanish bungalow. Nestled within the Colony Historic District, this meticulously restored gem at 523 S. Illinois Street stands as the crown jewel of a captivating streetscape, where each home tells a story of timeless elegance. Originally constructed in 1928 by the visionary Ernest Gregory, this home is part of a select group of 20 residences on the picturesque 500 block of S Illinois Street. Unlike custom homes that reflect their owners' tastes, these homes radiate a unique charm that transcends time. This bungalow, once a modest 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 900-square-foot haven, underwent a lavish transformation between 2016 and 2018. Today, it welcomes you with open arms, offering 1,206 square feet of luxurious living space. Inside, you'll find three generous bedrooms, two resplendent bathrooms, and a modernized kitchen adorned with laminate and butcher block counters. The two additional bedrooms at the rear of the house stretch to lofty 9-foot ceilings, creating a sense of spaciousness. The master bedroom indulges you with a vast tiled walk-in shower, complete with three rejuvenating shower heads, and a walk-in closet that dreams are made of. Recessed lighting graces every room, casting an inviting glow on your daily life. And when you crave the outdoors, ascend the tiled exterior staircase to your private rooftop deck, a custom-designed oasis that grants 300 square feet of open-air bliss. From here, you can bask in panoramic views, including Disneyland fireworks displays. Not a stone has been left unturned in the quest for perfection. Every system in the house, from plumbing to HVAC, has been entirely replaced and approved. A new tankless water heater, water softener, Cat 5 network wiring, and hardwood flooring all stand as testaments to uncompromising quality. Literally, everything within this home has been carefully curated to honor its rich history while delivering modern comfort. A three-car garage, meticulously drywalled, presents a possibility of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Concealed behind a custom fence with a sliding gate. Remarkably, this once in a lifetime home has earned the coveted Mills Act designation from the city of Anaheim. It's a testament to the commitment to preserving the original exterior character, resulting in property taxes that smoothly transition to the new owner without any supplemental tax bill. At just $3,200 per year, don't miss out

    This beautifully restored and professionally remodeled historic Spanish bungalow is nestled in the most unique neighborhood in the Colony Historic District. It is one of 20 homes located on the tree lined 500 block of S Illinois Street, built in 1928 by Ernest Gregory. The homes were all built using a similar Spanish Colonial Revival aesthetic which created a charming and cohesive streetscape not found in any other area of the Anaheim Colony, where custom houses usually reflected the personalities of the owners who built them. This home at 523 S. Illinois Street is the gem of this precious neighborhood! Originally built as a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom 900 sq ft house, it underwent a full remodel from 2016 to 2018, and the home now embraces 1206 sq ft of interior living space, with 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 magnificent bathrooms, and a beautifully updated kitchen with laminate and butcher block counters. The 2 bedrooms added to the back of the house have 9' ceilings. Master bedroom boasts a huge tiled walk-in shower with 3 shower heads, and a walk-in closet. All rooms have recessed lighting. In addition, a secluded roof top deck, accessed by a tiled exterior staircase, offers another 300 sq ft of custom designed outdoor living space with spectacular views of the Disneyland fireworks. Every system in the house has been replaced and permitted…new plumbing all the way to street, new sewage lines, new Energy Star AC and heater, new electrical panel and wiring of the entire house, new roof, new tankless water heater, new water softener, Cat 5 network wiring throughout the house, new hardwood flooring..literally everything in the house is new, and chosen to artfully reflect the history of the home. A huge 3 car garage has been drywalled, and offers an ideal opportunity to convert it to an ADU, as there is ample parking for two cars adjacent to the garage, and hidden behind a new custom fence with a sliding gate, which opens to a wide, clean and very usable alley. This magnificent home has been awarded the Mills Act by the city of Anaheim for maintaining the exterior in original condition, and allows the property taxes to pass to the new owner without a supplemental tax bill. Taxes are only $3,200 per year! THIS IS THE ONLY MILLS ACT HOME AVAILABLE IN THE COLONY! The neighborhood is walkable and charming...stroll to the Anaheim Packing House and other Packing District eateries and lounges only a few short blocks away. This home is “move-in ready”! Just bring your family!
