A remarkable piece of Santa Ana history, thoughtfully preserved and reimagined for modern living. Built in 1905 by William L. Duggan, the historic Duggan House is a distinguished Victorian landmark in the French Park Historic District, featuring its signature turret, conical roof, and timeless architectural craftsmanship. An approved Mills Act Historic Property Contract offers significant potential property tax savings, subject to its terms. Offering 2,440 square feet on an expansive 10,454-square-foot lot, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence has undergone extensive restoration and modernization while preserving its original character. A newly created primary suite features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, maintaining all four upstairs bedrooms. The expanded, fully remodeled kitchen showcases custom cabinetry matching the original millwork, new countertops, backsplash, breakfast peninsula, oversized sink, water purification system, and vintage-inspired mint-green appliances. Two additional remodeled bathrooms feature restored clawfoot tubs, classic vanities, and period-inspired tile. Original wood double-hung windows have been meticulously restored, complemented by authentic vintage Holophane brass and prismatic glass lighting, Victorian-style hardware, and oak flooring carefully matched to the originals.
