Property description
Discover a timeless treasure in the heart of Old Towne Historic District - a meticulously restored 1915 Craftsman home of enduring charm and practicality. This architectural gem is a registered Mills Act property and will offer substantial tax savings for its new owners. Impeccably updated and move-in ready, this residence is a seamless blend of classic craftsmanship and modern amenities. It was honored for recognition in the 22nd Annual Old Towne Preservation Awards. Custom-made cabinetry and millwork showcase meticulous attention to detail. The Douglas fir floors were expertly restored to their historical origin. Practical additions included in the full renovation include expanded closets and storage. Exterior updates added period siding, a poured concrete drive and walkways, redwood decking, craftsman driveway gates, and verdant landscaping with smart irrigation. The redesigned kitchen features a custom dining nook, stainless appliances, quartz counters, and shaker-style cabinetry. Recessed lighting illuminates the space. Beyond the main house, a versatile garage/carriage house stands ready to fulfill your vision. Swing-out doors add authenticity that harkens back to an earlier time. Whether you seek a recreation space or a functional utility area, this multi-use livable space offers endless possibilities. Renovations for efficiency and to meet modern safety standards include an upgraded 200-amp service panel and wiring throughout; smart home technology for thermostat, doors, and irrigation; central heat and air; copper plumbing; seismic retrofit and full foundation upgrade for ensured stability. Under Mills Act Contract MAC-253.0-16, the current property tax averages $2,900/year. And in addition, the owner maintenance contract has been completed 3 years early and will offer considerable savings to the new owner. Don’t miss your chance to experience the epitome of Old Towne living in this exquisite Craftsman residence. Seize the opportunity to own a piece of history, thoughtfully upgraded for today’s discerning lifestyle.
