First time on the market since the 1970s, this cherished Anaheim Hills home sits on an extraordinary 14,250 sq. ft. garden property that has been featured multiple times on the renowned Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the lush Anaheim Hills community known for its mature, towering pine trees, this 2,922 sq. ft. residence offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 3-car garage and a large upstairs bonus room that many homeowners convert into two additional bedrooms, creating a potential 5-bedroom home. The inviting floor plan includes a formal living room, formal dining room, and a comfortable family room with a classic brick fireplace. The remodeled kitchen with center island opens nicely to the family room, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The downstairs level features beautiful gray porcelain tile flooring designed to resemble wide wood planks, along with a bathroom with shower and an indoor laundry room. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater. Upstairs, all bedrooms are privately situated, including the spacious primary suite with dual sinks, a soaking tub and serene views overlooking the spectacular backyard gardens. The upstairs bathroom has been recently remodeled, and the oversized bonus room provides tremendous flexibility for additional bedrooms, a media room, or game room. The backyard is truly a private garden retreat. The stunning grounds—featured several times on the Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour—showcase mature specialty trees, fruit trees, vibrant flowering gardens, a tranquil koi pond, and a peaceful fountain. Designed for outdoor enjoyment, the yard also includes brick and concrete hardscaping, a patio cover, pool and spa and there are multiple raised wood planter beds specifically made for vegetable and herb gardens. Located near the Anaheim Hills reservoir with nearby hiking and biking trails, this exceptional property offers natural beauty, privacy, and space—all with no HOA. Homes with this much history, garden beauty, and pride of ownership rarely become available in Anaheim Hills.
