Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1928, this historic home requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization. The kitchen is extremely outdated with old tiled countertops, dated cabinetry, and vintage appliances. Throughout the home, there is worn, aged carpeting and obsolete light fixtures. While the bathroom shows some signs of a more recent accessibility update, the overall interior and major systems likely require a full overhaul to meet modern standards, as noted in the listing's own analysis of modernization requirements.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12001, living area = 2264.
Located in the prestigious Oak Hill-Brewster Historic District, this 1928 Craftsman home offers exceptional architectural character and a unique connection to Petaluma's history as the former residence of Dr. Galland.
The property sits on a rare quarter-acre level lot, providing a generous amount of outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find on Petaluma's desirable west side.
As a nearly century-old home, it likely requires significant investment in infrastructure and system upgrades to align with modern efficiency and comfort standards.
The layout features five bedrooms but only two bathrooms, which may be seen as a limitation for larger households or buyers looking for modern primary suite configurations.
518 Galland St is A 1928 Craftsman home, reflecting the architectural character of Petaluma's historic west side. Built by Dr. Galland, this home sits in what is now the Oak Hill-Brewster Historic District and represents a rare piece of Petaluma's early history. Shortly after constructing 518 Galland Street, Dr. Galland purchased the neighboring property at 520 Galland Street, where he established his maternity and birthing hospital. An important contribution to the city that ultimately led the city to name the street in his honor. 518 Galland remains a remarkable example of a bygone era, when doctors' offices and small private hospitals were woven into the fabric of the community. The home still retains its original floor plan, and its generous quarter‑acre almost level lot is an increasingly rare find on the west side of Petaluma. Offers will be opened as received. This home is not in foreclosure as reported by real estate sites.
