About this property

This 1927 Italian Mediterranean is deeply rooted in the history of the City of Orange. Formerly home to established law offices and notable political gatherings, the property—affectionately known as the “Smith Residence” represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark setting with both character and presence. The property features a predominantly single-level layout on a raised foundation, complemented by a utility basement, private driveway, and sizable detached garage. Its configuration lends itself well to a variety of commercial uses, offering both accessibility and functional flexibility. Inside, the space is defined by an extraordinary level of preserved craftsmanship. Original 1927 artisan canvas walls showcase hand-painted murals, while custom hardwood flooring with inlaid dark walnut accents adds warmth and architectural depth throughout. Expansive rooms with soaring ceilings create an open, airy feel, enhanced by abundant natural light from large, street-facing windows. Architectural details including arched openings, custom millwork, and stained and leaded glass accents contribute to a refined, high-end atmosphere that is particularly well suited for client-facing businesses. The thoughtful layout allows for a seamless blend of open work areas, private offices, and conference rooms, accommodating a wide range of operational needs. Prominent frontage and window exposure provide excellent visibility, while the scale of the interior spaces supports both collaborative environments and more formal, executive settings.
