About This Home

As of March 2021

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This prime, turnkey property nestled in the heart of the highly desirable area of Fullerton's Golden Hills, awaits one lucky family. Tastefully remodeled, this unique single story residence sits on a high pride-of-ownership street with manicured, custom built homes. A brick-lined circular driveway and custom 7 ft. entry door introduce you to 1498 Marelen Drive, at 2/3 acre, one of the largest lots in Fullerton.
Located just steps away from Hiltscher Park Trail, the home's open floor plan includes a large formal living room and its striking rock fireplace & custom mantle, while exposed wood beam details create a cozy, lodge-like atmosphere. Natural tree & hill views from every north-facing window, and from multiple, oversized sliding glass & French doors offer a surprising indoor-outdoor flow. The breathtaking rear patio & deck make a perfect outdoor dining and BBQ area, overlooking mature trees, terraced garden & grassy areas, and provide a secluded, mountain-like feeling. All three bedrooms feel spacious, while a semi-finished detached 2-car garage suggests a separate, private office or workshop. Buyer to confirm sf/lot size etc. Fully Remodeled Kitchen, all new flooring throughout, new bathrooms, tile, showers, fixtures, all new recessed lighting and new central HVAC and heating, ducting, and insulation. Feels like home!
