Nestled in the suburban of Fullerton in Orange County, California, the Riverside residential property stands as a testament to a timeless mid-century ranch-style home. This house, dating back to its original 1955 construction, preserves the lifestyle and design ethos of that era. While we deeply appreciate the vintage charm of its original layout, our mission is to breathe new life into it for a contemporary owner.
