Property Description
An impressive 42-inch wood entry door opens to a fireside living room where restored wood windows, a signature arched window, graceful arched passageways and rich hardwood floors preserve the warmth that makes homes of this era so special. Rather than stripping away its history, the renovation was designed around it, restoring defining elements while introducing carefully selected finishes authentic to the home.
The kitchen continues that approach with warm wood cabinetry, clean stone surfaces, a farmhouse sink, custom copper range hood and vintage-inspired hardware. A window-wrapped dining area fills the space with natural light and connects the kitchen and living spaces.
Throughout the home, details were intentionally considered—from distinctive bronze and porcelain fixtures to restored woodwork, substantial trim and period-inspired lighting. The bathroom combines marble, warm wood, oversized mirrors and vintage-inspired fixtures for a refined, timeless finish. A bedroom with walk-in closet completes the interior.
Behind the historic character is a comprehensively modernized home, with major improvements including new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, kitchen and bath—offering the charm of an early Orange residence with the systems and conveniences expected today.
Outside, a private backyard is anchored by a mature avocado tree, while a dedicated driveway leads to the detached garage. The property may also offer future ADU potential, subject to City approval and buyer verification.
Just a five- to nine-minute walk from the restaurants, coffee shops, gastropubs and cocktail lounges surrounding Chapman Avenue and the Orange Plaza Circle, the home sits on one of the area's distinctive residential streets. Pixley Street runs for only a few quiet, tree-lined blocks immediately southwest of the Circle, creating an intimate enclave of Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows, Craftsman homes and vintage cottages. Dating to Orange's early expansion era, this is a home where history wasn't simply covered up—it helped guide the renovation. The result is a residence distinctly of its time, thoughtfully renewed for its next chapter.
