This meticulously-maintained and upgraded College Park Lido plan with courtyard pool and spa is available for the first time in 50 years! When College Park was built in the late 1950s, its developers touted "every home combines luxury with live-ability!" Julius Shulman photographed the models for House & Home magazine and a billboard on Harbor Blvd. boasted "The Happiest People Live in College Park". The Lido plan originally had a breezeway between the home and garage. Savvy owners have enclosed the breezeway for additional living space, and these owners did just that, adding a sun-drenched dining room that opens to the pool, and bonus indoor laundry room / mudroom between garage and living spaces. This 3 bed / 2 bath home now has 1,522 sq. ft. The kitchen was expanded and opened up, and retains its flawless appearance following a high-end remodel a few years ago. The vaulted ceilings give the home volume and add to its mid-century modern appeal. Wood floors, updated windows and doors, and a two-sided fireplace round out the list of attractive features of this turn-key home. Most homeowners elect to add a few personal changes over time, but this home is move-in ready. At last count, there's only one other home in College Park with a pool in an enclosed front courtyard. With the private back yard still available for gatherings and gardening, this front yard fun zone is right where you want it; facing the dining area, kitchen, and front bedrooms. You probably already know about all of the benefits of College Park living, but if not, here are some highlights: walking distance to the OC Fairgrounds, abundant retail and dining options around the corner, easy freeway access, and a short drive to the 17th St. and on to the beach, to name a few. Why shouldn't you be the next owners to make memories in this charming home for the next several decades?!
