Property description
Fullerton Hillside Pool Home – Nestled in the Fullerton hills, this stunning view home offers privacy, location and quality craftsmanship. Perched high, near the end of a cul-de-sac , the location of this home is perfect and includes: Amazing views, trail access, shopping, parks, dining, golf, transportation center, and near all of the arts, entertainment, & dining that Downtown Fullerton is famous for. You’ll be impressed from the moment you venture down the long driveway and step through the tile surround doorway. As you enter, you will be greeted by a soaring wall of clearview windows with skyline views beyond. Just of few of the other features of this home include: Vaulted wood ceilings, exotic wood & stone flooring, open family and entertainment ready floor plan, designer kitchen with stainless appliances & concrete counter tops, central heat & air conditioning, dual pane windows, and wood French doors. The back yard is a paradise of its own with: Rock pool & spa, a large wood observation deck, 180 degree views, mature trees, playground area, and privacy. The schools are among the best in Fullerton, Beechwood K-8 and Fullerton High School. It’s time to come home to your very own hillside Fullerton Estate. A lot of the work has been done on this gem but the front and rear landscaping will need to be completed, the pool will need to be remodeled and the garage needs wood and roof work.
