About This Home

As of June 2023

Own a piece of Fullerton’s rich history; Welcome to the “Bradford House”, 545 W. Whiting Ave. Built in 1924 and designated as a California State Historical Landmark in 2013, this quintessential Craftsman Style home showcases the timeless quality and design of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. This home truly embodies the warmth, attention to detail, with period authenticity that buyers will appreciate. Great curb appeal, from the moment you step onto the front porch, you are “Welcomed” by the inviting porch swing, big picture window and oversized beveled glass front door. With 1,636 sq. ft. of living space, this period home boasts a large open floor plan with spacious living room and dining room combination. Plenty of natural light, coved ceilings, hardwood floors, original built-ins, adorned with stained glass accents and an inviting fireplace help to enhance the feeling of “Home”. The adjacent sunroom with its french doors, unique window shelf and garden view, can serve a variety of needs. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths-one a full bath with period decor, the second bath, a ½ bath connecting two rooms. Overlooking the backyard, the kitchen showcases new quartz countertops, dishwasher, O'Keefe and Meritt antique stove, original period cabinets and recently refinished wood floors. Additional highlights: separate breakfast room, convenient walk-in pantry, and inside laundry area. Comfort is assured year-round with central air conditioning and heating. Additionally, a California walk-in basement provides a versatile space for a workshop or storage, catering to your specific needs. *Above the custom-built oversized garage, is a rented ADU, featuring 480 square feet of loft living space, complete with a kitchenette and 3/4 bathroom. This presents an excellent opportunity for additional rental income or flexible use to suit the preferences of the new owner. *With the potential to qualify for the coveted Mills Act, a significant advantage that can dramatically reduce yearly property taxes for the fortunate buyer. *Located on one of the friendliest "walking streets" in Fullerton's downtown area; Ford Park & Lowes neighborhood market, a fixture of the community, are located at the end of the street.
With true pride of ownership, don’t miss the perfect opportunity to create the next phase in the history of this wonderful home.
