The kitchen is fully modernized with waterfall quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Significant infrastructure reinvestment—including a full foundation replacement, new HVAC, upgraded electrical, and new sewer lines—combined with refinished historic woodwork and updated lighting, ensures the home is in like-new condition with no deferred maintenance.
The active Mills Act contract provides substantial property tax savings, offering a significant financial advantage and long-term value for this historic South Park residence.
Unlike many homes of this era, the property features a replaced foundation, upgraded electrical, new sewer lines, and a modern HVAC system, providing the peace of mind of a newer build.
The home masterfully maintains its 1911 Craftsman soul with original coffered ceilings, rich woodwork, and built-ins, all meticulously refinished to meet modern luxury standards.
The historic designation and Mills Act contract may limit a buyer's ability to make significant exterior alterations or additions, requiring strict adherence to preservation guidelines.
At 1,674 square feet for nearly $1.7 million, the property represents a high price point per square foot, which may challenge buyers looking for more interior volume or a larger lot.
