About 2422 N Heliotrope
This classic English Tudor in the heart of Historic Floral Park is tucked at the top of a quiet street, with the picturesque, glamorously vintage look and feel that makes the neighborhood so special. From the exterior, what a fabulous first impression: a mature spruce tree, a brick Hollywood driveway, and a brick walkway leading you to the inviting porch that is absolutely perfect for a glass of wine or lemonade in the cool of the evening. The stunning wood front door sets the mood, opening to hardwood floors glowing in abundant natural light, and an oversized living room with high ceilings, beautiful wood-framed windows, recessed lighting, and a grand gas fireplace. The spacious dining room is open to the living room, creating seamless flow between the rooms. A coved tray ceiling and warm wood-framed windows including the bay window in front looking out to a stately tree, give the dining room an elegant yet comfortable feel. The kitchen is generously sized with granite countertops with a tiled backsplash on both the main area and on the sideboard area with glass cabinet upper doors. Crown molding and paneling along the cabinet sides help preserve the vintage aura. A walk-in pantry, a charming breakfast nook with antique-style lighting, and a French door to the side yard complete the space. The three bedrooms, two with connecting bathrooms, are large, with oversized windows bringing in a delightful amount of natural light. The two bathrooms feature original-style tile, with one opening to both the hall and a bedroom. Each bedroom has a French door, and the back two offer views of the garden, where strikingly huge white crape myrtle trees line the back wall. Brick stepping stones lead around the yard to the side patio with a sitting area and a French door back to the kitchen. Beyond all this charm, a newer roof, newer plumbing, fresh paint, a newer soft water system, and newer heating and air bring real value! The garage even has brick interior walls, for just a little more amazing vintage flavor. Floral Park is known for its sense of community, with beloved traditions like the annual Home & Garden Tour and events year-round. This home is centrally located just minutes from 4 major freeways, OC School of the Arts (OCSA), great shopping and dining, and the lively downtowns of Santa Ana and the Orange Circle. With classic character and set in this warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is a rare opportunity in one of Santa Ana's most beloved neighborhoods!
