About This Home

As of June 2023

Positioned ideally on an expansive and flat 15,000 + sq foot lot, this classic and iconic Golden Hills ranch style residence is now proudly presented to the market for the first time in 54 years! 1485 Marelen Drive exudes a charm and nostalgia only found in homes of this vintage. Step inside to a welcoming and inviting interior just refreshed with new interior paint and newly refinished original hardwood floors. A spacious living room enjoys a custom red brick wood burning fireplace and wooden mantle. A charming diamond pane window looks out to the backyard, while a sliding door provides easy access to the expansive covered patio. A separate dining room is bright and fresh and ready for your family and holiday meals. The family room is a special room with it’s peg and groove wood floors, a red brick fireplace and those amazing vaulted wood beamed ceilings. Another large sliding door creates a great indoor-outdoor flow. A bright and happy kitchen awaits with linoleum flooring, Corian counters and the original and just re-painted cabinetry. A custom built-in hutch is a highlight of the breakfast eating area, complete with a charming diamond paned garden window. A convenient laundry room and guest ½ bathroom is found just off the kitchen. The oversized two-car garage is accessed via a small breezeway connecting the house and garage. Down the main hallway two very spacious secondary bedrooms are found facing the front of the home. The main bathroom is classically vintage featuring new flooring. A remarkably large primary suite is at the rear of the home offering dual closets, a large dressing/vanity area and an en-suite bathroom. Newer central HVAC and ducting and dual pane windows and sliders throughout (with exception of 3 original charming diamond pane windows) The possibilities are genuinely endless in this impressively sized and private backyard, add a pool, additional patio areas, perhaps an ADU – or all three! There really is that much space! Moments to schools, hospital and downtown Fullerton.
