Welcome to 136 Miramonte Drive, a remarkable Spanish-style residence tucked into the highly sought-after Old Sunny Hills neighborhood of Fullerton, where classic architecture, gracious living spaces, and exceptional outdoor entertaining come together to create something truly special.
Just steps from Fullerton’s beloved bridle trail, this property offers an increasingly rare combination: a character-rich, single-story main residence, a newly constructed detached ADU, and a backyard designed to embrace the best of Southern California living.
A Home That Makes an Unforgettable First Impression
From the moment you arrive, 136 Miramonte Drive feels different.
Beautifully manicured landscaping complements the home’s distinctive Spanish architecture, while an old-world wooden gate opens to an enchanting private courtyard. It’s the kind of entrance that invites you to slow down, take in your surroundings, and appreciate the craftsmanship and character that make this property so memorable.
Inside, original architectural details tell the story of the home’s enduring appeal. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams, charming built-ins, and beautifully preserved fireplaces bring warmth and authenticity to spaces that feel both elegant and inviting.
The generously proportioned living room serves as a stunning introduction, with views of both the courtyard and backyard and an original stacked-stone fireplace that anchors the room.
Just beyond, the formal dining room continues the architectural story with soaring exposed beams, built-in cabinetry, and French doors that open to the backyard. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or gathering friends and family for a celebration, this is a home designed to bring people together.
Classic Character, Comfortable Everyday Living
The approximately 2,700-square-foot main residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with a thoughtful floor plan that balances gathering spaces with private retreats.
The kitchen features granite countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook overlooking the courtyard—an inviting spot to begin the day.
One of the home’s most distinctive spaces is the den and family room. With walls of built-in shelving and cabinetry, exposed ceiling beams, and a classic brick fireplace, this room offers the warmth and versatility that make a house feel like home. Imagine cozy movie nights, a beautiful home library, or a comfortable place to unwind.
The primary suite overlooks the backyard and features an enlarged bathroom with dual sinks, a separate soaking tub and shower, and a generous walk-in closet with custom organizers.
Two additional spacious bedrooms and a vintage-inspired hall bathroom complete the bedroom wing, preserving the home’s original charm while providing the comfort and functionality today’s buyers appreciate.
A Backyard Worth Staying Home For
If the home’s architecture captures your attention, the backyard may just steal your heart.
Designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories, this outdoor retreat delivers a resort-inspired experience without ever leaving home.
At its center is a stunning contemporary saltwater pool and spa, complete with a custom slide wall that adds an unexpected touch of fun and architectural interest.
Expansive patio areas create multiple opportunities for lounging, dining, and entertaining, while custom metal shade structures offer welcome comfort on warm Southern California afternoons.
And then there’s the outdoor kitchen.
Far beyond a traditional backyard barbecue, this impressive entertaining space features polished concrete countertops, generous preparation areas, and even a built-in wok—a distinctive feature that makes outdoor cooking an experience all its own.
Picture summer afternoons by the pool, evenings gathered around the outdoor kitchen, and celebrations that effortlessly flow from the home’s French doors into the backyard.
This isn’t simply an outdoor space. It’s an extension of the way you’ll live.
A Newly Built ADU Adds Exceptional Versatility
One of the property’s most compelling features is its detached 733-square-foot accessory dwelling unit, completed in 2024.
Thoughtfully positioned in a corner of the property, the ADU includes one bedroom, one bathroom, and a spacious living area.
Its standout architectural feature? An industrial-style glass garage door that opens to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, giving the residence a fresh, contemporary personality.
The possibilities are exciting.
Whether accommodating extended family, creating a private retreat for guests, or exploring other permitted uses, the ADU offers flexibility that is increasingly valuable in today’s real estate market.
Together, the main residence and detached ADU provide approximately 3,517 square feet of living space, allowing for connection and independence within one exceptional property.
Thoughtful Energy Efficiency
Beyond its architectural beauty and lifestyle amenities, 136 Miramonte Drive also offers an impressive energy feature.
An owned 36-panel solar system produces approximately 16.1 MWh of electricity, according to the seller, nearly offsetting the current owner’s Southern California Edison electricity charges.
It’s a meaningful addition to a home that already offers so much, combining the enduring appeal of classic architecture with practical modern improvements.
