About This Home

As of December 2021

You will fall in love with this lovely 1926 California Craftsman Bungalow home in the College Park Historic area of Fullerton. This is the last home built by famous Architect/Builder James “Gee” W. Lear. For nearly 100 years, this home has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated to preserve its historic value. This home qualifies for the Mills Act Tax Incentive Program. The large R2 lot has been beautifully landscaped and is an inviting area to entertain guests and host family gatherings. The house was strategically built on the lot to provide for plenty of parking including RV parking. Recent upgrades enhance the livability and blend historic charm. Rare and in excellent condition original hardwood floors reflect natural light in the open and airy floor plan. The living room flows into the formal dining room which flows into the modern gourmet kitchen. The kitchen had a top to bottom remodel with new flooring, gorgeous marble countertops, custom cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances. The two elegant bathrooms were professionally designed to include modern comforts such as a large soaking tub and stand-alone shower with hand set tile. This move-in-ready home has it all. New electrical, new roof, whole house water system, central air conditioning and heating, upgraded plumbing, finished garage with a/c and plumbing, home security system and storage space.
