2309 N Louise

Thanks for checking out 2309 N. Louise, a lovingly preserved custom home designed in 1955 by Suzanna Neighbour and built by respected local builder Hugh Neighbour Jr., whose own home is just around the corner. Rich in authentic mid-century character, this special residence showcases plaster walls, beautifully refinished red oak hardwood floors, original built-ins, and a circular floor plan offering wonderful flow and privacy. A welcoming covered front porch leads to an inviting entry with a large coat closet and charming diamond-pane window. Spacious living and dining rooms are filled with natural light, while two original brick fireplaces add warmth and character to both the living room and den. The remarkably preserved vintage kitchen features Philippine mahogany cabinetry, pristine ceramic tile, space for casual dining, and an adjoining laundry/mud room. The cozy den offers built-in bookcases and storage, with sliding doors opening to a covered patio and private backyard. The primary bedroom also overlooks the yard and features a wall of closets, complemented by an updated main bath. Two additional bedrooms share a delightful original pink vintage bathroom—a real mid-century gem. The backyard includes fruit trees, lawn space, room for a vegetable garden, a long driveway, and a detached two-car garage and privacy. With its original windows and siding still intact, the home may qualify for historic designation and the potential tax advantages of the Mills Act. Located on a picturesque tree-lined cul-de-sac that glows with fall color, this home offers more than vintage charm—it offers community.

Centrally located near Old Towne Orange and Downtown Santa Ana, you'll enjoy exceptional dining, shopping, and entertainment just minutes from home. A rare opportunity to own an exceptionally authentic & traditional mid-century home where timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a welcoming neighborhood come together.
