Lovingly restored and thoughtfully reimagined, this one-of-a-kind 5BD/3BA Victorian with legal junior ADU blends timeless character with extensive modern upgrades. Soaring ceilings and spacious rooms with refinished hardwood floors and original details preserve the home’s historic soul, while artistic custom touches make it truly unforgettable. The main level opens through a bright vestibule, leading to a welcoming living room with original Victorian trim and window casings. The surprisingly roomy kitchen is a love letter to another era. Original cabinetry, a beautifully preserved 1930s stove, and a period-matched reproduction refrigerator offer a delightfully practical and charming space. The kitchen flows into a bright, airy dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the expansive backyard. Two generous bedrooms and a crisp, white-tiled bathroom complete the floor. An elegant Victorian-style spiral staircase leads to the lower level with two comfortable bedrooms, a bright laundry room with garden access, and a tranquil, spa-inspired bathroom. The legal 1BD Junior ADU features a large, light-filled bedroom, well-equipped compact kitchen, and stylish bathroom, ideal for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Major system upgrades include updated foundation with seismic strengthening, upgraded 200-amp electrical and wiring, newer furnace and A/C, double-pane windows, and custom exterior paint. The large backyard with its fruit and flower trees and cottage style outbuilding is ready for your touch. This home has been deeply treasured and will continue to be a wonderful place to live for a very, very long time.
