Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Fresno, CaliforniaBy Sablemable aka Jan
When I found this home, I was singing California Here I Come in my mind because this house is fantastic! This four bedroom, three bathroom home is located at 750 East Santa Ana Avenue and is classified as California Modernist. There is 3,080 square feet and four wings! The exterior is redwood and concrete masonry and the interior woods are ash. Loads of built-ins in this 1954 classic, and, virtually untouched MCM structure. Of course, all of this untouched classic MCM beauty comes with a steep price, at $699,000.00. Keller Williams Westland Realty (559)432-5533 are the brokers.

I especially loved all of the built-ins and the functionality of the kitchen/work area/laundry, plus all of the beautiful wood!

Oh, this is just lovely! I love the entry way and all of the built-in’s. Thank goodness no one ever whitewashed all of that wood!

I don’t think there was a single thing I didn’t like about this house – this may be one of the best houses featured on Won’t You Be My Neighbor. Awesome!!!

Wowee! All of the wood and built-ins are so beautiful! I also love those lamps over the bed. Wow, and that room divider with the record cubbies = s-woon!

I’d move to Fresno if I had that kind of dough. Really nice house!

I agree, gang, this is probably the best house showcased on WYBMN.
I loved the way this house rambled on and on and on. LOL, I’d really need my motorized scooter to move about!
Glad you all enjoyed the photos!
