Property Description
When it was built, this area was still transitioning from its orchard days. Land in this neighborhood traces back to early Orange families, including Captain Andrew Harrington Bibber, a Civil War veteran whose name still echoes in the area today.
There's also a long-standing story that this house may have started as a piano studio for Captain Bibber's daughter—back when this was quiet farmland, and sounds traveled farther.
Today, it's part of the Old Towne Orange Historic District—a neighborhood that has preserved its original charm in a way that's becoming rare.
Life here is simple. Walk to the circle for coffee, grab dinner at Gabby's, or enjoy breakfast at Snooze on weekends. Chapman University is just a few blocks away, bringing energy without disrupting the neighborhood's feel.
The property might also qualify for the Mills Act, potentially providing property tax savings for owners who maintain its historic character. And with a lot this size, there's plenty of room to consider an ADU for extra flexibility or long-term value.
