Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1920, this home is well-maintained with essential system upgrades (plumbing, electrical, and roof). However, the kitchen is significantly dated with older cabinetry and countertops likely exceeding 20-30 years in age, requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Designed by Walter Byrne in the Arts & Crafts style, this home features exceptional craftsmanship, including handcrafted woodwork and exposed beams that preserve its historic integrity.
The property has undergone significant upgrades, including a new roof, exterior siding, and updated electrical and plumbing systems, blending historic charm with modern reliability.
Situated on a spacious 7,187 sqft lot, the property includes a detached garage/shop, fruit trees, and a large garden area, offering rare outdoor versatility in a central location.
With four bedrooms but only two bathrooms, the home's layout may be less convenient for larger families or modern buyers seeking a higher bath-to-bedroom ratio.
The 1920s construction and specialized materials like exterior wood shingles require diligent and potentially costly ongoing maintenance to preserve the home's character and value.
Rich in character & timeless appeal, this Arts & Crafts-style home showcases the craftsmanship & attention to detail that define architectural tradition from the Julia Morgan era.
