WELCOME TO 601 CHERRY STREET IN THE HEART OF BREA, offering approximately 2,847 square feet of combined living, entertaining, and future-use potential, including a 1,600-square-foot main residence, an 827-square-foot covered patio, a 272-square-foot detached workshop with ADU potential, and a 148-square-foot detached playhouse or flex space. Situated on a spacious lot over 10,000-square feet, this well-maintained single-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a functional floor plan with multiple indoor and outdoor living areas. The front living room flows into the dining area and kitchen before opening to a dramatic great room highlighted by vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and expansive sliding glass doors leading to the backyard. Designed with entertaining in mind, the impressive covered patio expands the usable living space and includes built-in lighting, recessed speakers, and convenient controls for exterior flood lighting. The backyard also features extensive landscape lighting, including uplighting for mature trees, motion-sensor lighting, and floodlights capable of illuminating the entire yard. The property offers exceptional versatility with a detached 272-square-foot workshop equipped with its own 220-volt electrical panel, underground 220-volt service, ducting for future air conditioning, sprinkler access, and a dedicated air conditioning circuit and condenser breaker. Whether utilized as a workshop today or transformed into a future ADU, guest suite, home office, multigenerational living space, or potential income-producing opportunity, this space provides incredible flexibility and long-term value. An additional 148-square-foot detached playhouse offers even more possibilities as a creative studio, fitness room, hobby space, or recreation area. Additional improvements include dual-pane windows, a 15-SEER HVAC system and furnace, a 30-year composition roof with new sheathing, fresh interior paint, new carpet, new laminate flooring, recessed lighting, ceiling fans throughout, and a water heater replaced in 2021. Conveniently located near highly regarded schools, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, 601 Cherry Street combines thoughtful upgrades, flexible living spaces, and future potential in one of Brea's most desirable neighborhoods.
