229 N Cornell Avenue

Set on a quaint, tree-lined street within Fullerton’s original townsite, 229 N. Cornell Avenue is part of the city’s College Park Historic District. The neighborhood is culturally and architecturally significant, reflective of the Fullerton’s growth in the early 20th century. This 1923 Craftsman bungalow’s gracious and welcoming front porch ushers you into the home’s main living area with kitchen and laundry room just beyond; wood floors and fresh paint create a calm, restful environment. Glass-front built-in cabinets and a chandelier are ready to help you create a more formal dining area, a contrast to the cozy breakfast nook around the corner. With windows that look out over the lush yard and its mature landscaping, the simple yet efficient kitchen enjoys the essentials, along with more cabinetry and details that are true hallmarks of Craftsman design: simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. Off the living area, a hall leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The front bedroom is bathed in light, thanks to large windows which look out over the flowerbeds and lawn, while the second bedroom enjoys views of the rear yard and its abundant, fragrant lavender. Along with other period homes in the area, this Mills Act-eligible residence blends architectural beauty with the city’s strong sense of community and academic influence. Its numerous original details and woodwork, long driveway leading to a detached garage, and picturesque, walkable charm make 229 N. Cornell a true gem with a rich history.
