This sweet midcentury Palmer
& Krisel-designed home was built by the Midland Companies in Fullerton, CA
in 1954. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,340 square feet sited on a
6,200 square-foot cul-de-sac lot, the asking price of this home is $475,000.

The exterior of the home appears
to be a response to the ongoing drought, with the yard essentially being a
blank slate to create a water-conserving modernist expression. Various shaped
and sized shrubs sit within the yard, and a portion of the front yard area sits
behind a wooden privacy fence.
The floorplan of the home is one
that we’ve seen lots of lately – the living and dining rooms sit at the rear of
the home; the kitchen sits along the eastern side with a family room sited
between the kitchen and entryway, while all three bedrooms are clustered
together on the west side of the home.

The family room sits off the
entry, overlooking the front yard, and is separated from the entry with a
vintage floating rock planter. A painted CMU-demising wall separates the family
room from the south-facing living room, and a floating soffit spans the space.
The living room features is original stacked block modernist fireplace,
somewhat obscured by an aftermarket brass screen.

Most of the windows in the home
have been swapped out for white vinyl replacements, but luckily the open beamed
celotex ceilings are still in place, as are the original clerestory windows on
the sides of the home. The kitchen has been updated with very traditional
materials, including raised panel cabinetry, granite counters and a mix of
appliance styles.

The three bedrooms all feature
windows which have been converted to sliding glass doors, lots of windows
letting in generous amounts of natural light, along with the open beamed
vaulted ceilings found throughout the rest of the home. Both of the bathrooms are
remarkably well-preserved, with vintage vanities, sinks, floating cabinetry and
fixtures and lighting, with the master bathroom accented in midcentury pink and
the guest bath in grey.
No photos of the backyard are
provided, however the original detached two car garage takes up a portion of
the southwest corner of the rear yard, with either a patio or storage room
constructed on one side of the structure, while a large shade tree sits in the
center of the yard.
The bathrooms are some of the
niftiest features on this home, and overall the property appears to have some great
lines and bones. Redfin.com predicts this home will sell fast, so be sure to check
it out before it’s gone.
