Posted on December 6, 2012 by admin

It’s my pleasure to announce the sale of 1122 Glenhaven Ave in Fullerton. This beautiful property just closed on 11/30 at a fantastic price of $710,000, an incredible deal of $80k under the selling price.

Built in the 1950’s but looking brand new due to recent remodeling, this is 3,698 square feet of open living space that looks even larger than it is. Four baths, five bedrooms, a huge kitchen, hardwood floors and granite countertops, all add up to great living for any family. Add to that a den, loft, and four-car garage, and it is easy to see why this home sold so quickly.

And speaking of families: what family wouldn’t enjoy this 10,000 square foot lot, landscaped to perfection, and located in the beautiful community of Fullerton?

This property saw a great deal of action, and had many offers, making it even more amazing that the purchase price was so much lower than the asking price.

Happy sellers….happy buyers….a win/win real estate transaction for sure!
