While the home needs cosmetic updates and shows some wear from wheelchair use, it offers solid bones and architectural charm rarely found today. The backyard has a magical feel to it with delicious Fruit trees: Avocado, Fuji apple, Lemon trees, Grapefruit, Navel orange, Pomegranate and Peach. Whether you are looking to restore its original magic or make it your own, this Storybook gem is a rare opportunity in a desirable Fullerton neighborhood.
