About 6212 Santa Rita Ave

Meticulously maintained and beautifully upgraded, this single-level residence is located in the highly desirable West Garden Grove neighborhood, offering a rare blend of comfort, style, convenience, and income potential. Since its last sale in 2021, the home has seen numerous improvements, including new luxury waterproof plank flooring in living areas, plush carpeting in bedrooms, recessed lighting throughout, a new central A/C and heating system, and a brand-new roof installed in 2022. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light and features two spacious living areas—one with a decorative stone accent wall, new lighting fixtures, and a charming brick fireplace, and another with wood-beamed ceilings, recessed lighting, and sliding glass doors that open to the backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, boasting quartz countertops, a stylish backsplash, upgraded cabinetry, a central island with bar seating, and premium stainless steel appliances including an upgraded range, refrigerator, and stackable washer-dryer unit. A dedicated dining area sits just off the kitchen, ideal for family meals and entertaining guests. The primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat with ample closet space and an en-suite bathroom featuring both a tub and shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a well-appointed hall bathroom. The garage has been thoughtfully converted into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a private entrance, generating approx. $1,900–$2,200/month in rental income while still preserving ample driveway parking. The front driveway has been newly paved with decorative lighting, and both front and back yards are landscaped with low-maintenance turf that pairs beautifully with the surrounding greenery for a water-efficient, eco-friendly finish. The expansive backyard offers space for entertaining, gardening, and play, featuring colorful planters, fruit-bearing trees, and a dedicated play area. Located near top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and freeway access, this move-in-ready home offers an exceptional lifestyle in a vibrant, family-friendly community. Perfect for owner-occupants, investors, or multi-generational living. Welcome home!
