The home

About 243 N Grand Street

An opportunity to own a piece of history! This home was built in 1921 for Louise Bradshaw as a Colonial Revival Bungalow. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places. This property is located just 6 houses away from the South end of the esteemed Chapman University. It offers a main home and 2 rentable units. The configuration of the 2 structures works extremely well for multi-generational shared living. The main home is approximately 1,425 sq. ft., with 2 or possibly 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Above the main house is Unit 243A, a studio, currently rented. A separate 1-bedroom unit, 243 1/2, is attached to the garage and offers a floorplan with approximately 422 square feet. The garage is a one car Model T style with a pair of architecturally interesting hinged doors. This is a great opportunity for an owner to live in the main house and have rental income from the other 2 units. The main house is in super sharp, move-in condition & features a living room, separate den, formal dining room, updated kitchen with abundant storage and lots of counter space. The kitchen has an eating area and lots of windows that bring in natural light. There are 2 large backyard patio areas, a large grass area and 2 huge fruit bearing avocado trees. Each unit has separate electric meters, separate air conditioning units and separate gas meters. As an additional benefit, the property offers a very long double wide driveway for lots of additional off-street parking. It’s located close to Old Towne with all its historic charm and the one-of-a-kind Orange Circle. There are coffee shops, amazing restaurants, entertainment, antique stores, shopping, library and train station. Both public and private schools are conveniently close to this home.

In cities, the fire zone line follows the State Fire Marshal's 2025 map; each city adopts its own map and may add areas. These lines are not a Natural Hazard Disclosure. Check the official maps and the seller's disclosures before you rely on them.
