Property Description
Welcome to the most unique and versatile property on the market in Downtown Anaheim! This custom-built, 1946-era home offers an incredible main home seamlessly paired with a separate apartment over the garage (permitted as a continuous addition in 1962). The main residence boasts a fully fenced front yard, a welcoming front porch, a formal entry, and a large living room. Brimming with vintage character, it features a vintage kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge den, a vintage sound room, and an enclosed sunroom.
Accessible through the main house-or easily locked off for complete privacy via a separate flight of stairs-the upper-level apartment includes one bedroom, a large living room, an abundance of storage, and a retro 1962 kitchen. Completing this rare property is a two-car attached garage connected by a charming breezeway, and a low-maintenance backyard featuring a secure gate for additional on-site parking. Located just blocks from the Anaheim Packing District, Center Street Promenade, Farmers Markets, and Villains Brewing Company, this exceptional property blends retro charm, massive space, and premier walkability.
