161 S Orange Ave, Brea, CA 92821
What This Townhouse Offers
Live two blocks from Birch Street. This 1,677 sq ft, four-bedroom townhome sits in the heart of Downtown Brea — close enough to walk to dinner, the Improv, the... farmers market, and the Regal, and about a mile from Brea Mall.
Inside
The main level opens to a bright living room with a fireplace, crown molding, recessed lighting, and oversized windows framing mature trees. Wide-plank luxury vinyl runs throughout — no carpet in the living areas.
The kitchen was fully renovated: white shaker cabinetry, dark quartz counters, glass mosaic backsplash, and a full slate-finish GE appliance package including a gas free-standing range and oven, over-range microwave, dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator. A breakfast-bar peninsula opens to a dedicated dining nook with built-in bench seating and a farmhouse table (included).
Bedrooms and baths
Four bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, and three windows. The primary bath has a dual quartz vanity with vessel sinks, a separate water closet, and a fully retiled walk-in shower with subway tile, pebble floor, rain head, handheld wand, and frameless glass. Two additional upstairs bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned. The fourth room works equally well as a bedroom, home office, or gym — it has its own ceiling fan, a large window, and sits apart from the sleeping wing for quiet video calls.
A renovated half bath serves the main level.
