Location: 957 South Pepper Street, Anaheim, California

Price: $899,000

Architect: Cliff May

Year Built: 1954

Footprint: 1,218 square feet (three bedrooms, two baths)

Lot Size: 0.18 acres

From the Agent: "A hidden gem tucked away behind lush tropical landscaping, this three-bedroom retreat has been lovingly preserved and updated since it was built as part of the original Cliff May tract in 1954. The floor plan’s indoor/outdoor flow creates a sense of ease and tranquility. Enjoy a cocktail or read a book on the front patio or entertain friends with an alfresco dinner in the backyard. The living room, kitchen, and dining area all open up to the newly landscaped grounds. The primary bedroom with en suite bath also opens to a patio, perfect for a morning cup of coffee. Beautiful windows bring lots of natural light into the two guest bedrooms, either of which would be perfect doubled as a home office. Cliff May created properties that, simply put, make life better—and you can feel it the minute you open the front gate."

The historic home is tucked behind lush landscaping and a tall fence.
