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.
