Property Description

:: The Carl A. Sturdy Residence, C. 1929 :: Ideally situated in one of the city's most prized enclaves, full of historic homes and just steps to Hillcrest Park, lies this romantic Spanish abode. A meticulous, multi-year restoration provides a harmonious marriage of timeless original details and today's modern living. A step-down, sun-drenched living room is highlighted by a grand arched window and original fireplace, while an elegant formal dining room features a hand-drawn mural on the ceiling, paying homage to the original architecture & design of the time period. A recently renovated kitchen strikes a desirable balance of modern needs with new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and flooring, while arched doorways and an original built-in hutch add a flare of original character no longer seen in today's designs. Two brand-new bathrooms are full of life with playful Spanish tiles & accents, including one en-suite bathroom w/exterior access. Beautifully maintained original hardwood floors and wooden windows add soul and charm to the home. A newly insulated attic, and brand-new HVAC system allow one to live comfortably throughout the year. Sitting on a corner lot, the mature and thoughtfully designed landscaping has been carefully curated throughout the years, including new stone pathways and lighting. A serene back patio offers a private setting for entertaining and relaxing, highlighted by a built-in water feature. Other upgrades include full repiping with PEX piping, re-wired electrical and upgraded electrical panel, copper rain gutters and awnings. Located just down the road from renowned Downtown Fullerton, offering an array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options while retaining historic charm throughout the district, a rarity in Orange County. Also located in Downtown Fullerton is the historic Fullerton Train Station, offering an easy and stress-free commute to Los Angeles & Irvine. Character-rich homes with modern amenities are seldom available, making this a truly remarkable opportunity.
