Property is moderate renovation needed.
This historic 1920s estate appears well-maintained externally, but it is functionally outdated for modern luxury standards, particularly noted by the low bathroom count (3) relative to the number of bedrooms (6) and total square footage. The listing's emphasis on 'significant upside potential' and 'development potential to subdivide' suggests that while the structure is preserved, the interior systems, kitchen, and bathrooms likely require substantial modernization to meet current market expectations for a luxury property.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 111490, living area = 6029.
The expansive 2.5-acre lot across two parcels offers a rare opportunity to subdivide the upper portion into five additional single-family lots, providing massive investment upside.
This 1920s Tuscan estate features a rich history with rumored ties to William Randolph Hearst and design by Dennis and Farwell, offering unique character and prestige that modern builds cannot replicate.
With 6,029 square feet and six bedrooms but only three bathrooms, the home's 1920s configuration likely requires a significant capital investment to modernize the plumbing and floor plan for contemporary luxury standards.
The age of the structures combined with over two acres of grounds featuring waterfalls, fountains, and trails suggests substantial ongoing maintenance costs and potential historic preservation requirements.
