The home

About 1538 E Santa Ana Canyon Road

One-of-a-kind. Custom-built. An expansive panoramic view that makes you rush home to catch the sunsets or just never want to leave the house. Private and tucked away like a best-kept secret. Modern architecture and unique features make this a home you’ll brag about: open concept kitchen, dry bar/pantry with wine chiller and a second oven, a master suite like no other, travertine or wood flooring through most of the house, and, yes, an elevator. The main living areas with high ceilings, multiple windows, and French doors opening to the private patio provide many options for relaxing or entertaining. The huge master suite is a must-see with travertine flooring, walk-in shower with skylight, toilet area with bidet, unique closet/dressing area and a private patio. Views are also enjoyed from the two secondary bedrooms as well as an office/loft that has been used as a fourth bedroom. Conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, Eisenhower Park and so many conveniences. Great commuter location for access to the 55 and 91 freeways, the Anaheim Canyon Station, and just minutes from ARTIC transportation center. It’s walking distance to the Santa Ana River Trail for hikes or biking to take you as far north as Green River Golf course or all the way south to Huntington Beach. So many incredible details, so many possibilities. Take the virtual tour. Then come see it in person! No HOA. No Mello Roos.
