Description

Welcome to your dream home. This historic Spanish-styled beauty is full of history and timeless charm. When ground was broken to build this home on August 15,1922, the local papers proclaimed it “One of the handsomest residences in the city.” Steeped in character and charm, this Spanish Colonial Revival home, which has lovely Pueblo Revival touches, still retains a high degree of historic integrity. It was built for Fullerton newcomers Lawrence B. and Iza Harris, with Iza hiring her brother, notable Long Beach contractor Merton E. Cutting, to custom-design the dwelling for her. Lawrence would own the L. B. Harris Drugstore on North Harbor Boulevard for decades. Radiating an essence from a bygone era, the home showcases coved ceilings, arched doorways, period moldings, and sconces galore. Notable interior features include original hardwood flooring, copper plumbing, custom built-ins, redwood custom cabinetry, and true to its age, a secret prohibition cubby. The home has also been upgraded with modern conveniences: central A/C and heat, an upgraded electrical system and new gas range stove. The foundation has also been earthquake retrofitted. Discover the perfect balance of old-world elegance and modern comfort with your own private wing offering a full vintage bathroom, custom dressing room with coffered ceilings, and a built-in Cal-King bed, complete with French doors leading to a large private low maintenance backyard. The backyard has ample room for large gatherings, quality time with the family and raised beds for gardening. A centralized feature of the home is its atrium with Spanish tiles, where one can enjoy a quiet and relaxing shady spot. The newer built garage has a usable loft space that could easily be converted into an ADU with 18-foot ceilings, a separate laundry room, and half bath. Situated in a historic district, the dwelling is within walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants, local events, and more.
