This simple 1887 Queen Anne Victorian Cottage with Eastlake detailing has been owned by the same family for almost 50 years. Perfect opportunity for a true preservationist to put their vision to work to bring this diamond in the rough back to its original character. The house was originally situated on Foothill Blvd. but was moved to its current location in the 1940's. At that time, walls were removed, the wrap-around porch was altered & a new kitchen was added on to the back. Where there was once two parlors, there is now an expansive living room with 12' high ceilings, picture frame mouldings, a decorative fireplace & period light fixtures. All the windows in front are original & include a simple border of stained glass panels reminiscent of the era. The gables include fish scale shingles & the front porch features spindle balusters. Hardwood floors thruout. Large rear yard. Tons of potential! Needs lots of TLC! Listed as a potential City landmark offering tax savings.
