    What's special

    Half basementOversized lotLarge sparkling poolFormal dining roomIntricate built-in cabinetsOriginal hardwood floorsLarge kitchen
    Welcome to a home that truly tells a story. On the market for the first time in 54 years, this beautiful 1920s Craftsman in the historic Orange Heights neighborhood has been lovingly preserved, retaining its authentic character. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the original stained-glass windows, the fireplace's Batchelder tiles, and the intricate built-in cabinets with their charming leaded-glass door fronts. The original hardwood floors, sanded only twice in the last 54 years, are waiting to be brought back to their true glory. The main level offers a spacious living room, a formal dining room, one bedroom, and a full bathroom with a walk-in tub and shower. A sunroom provides a quiet retreat. While the large kitchen is ready for a complete remodel, it presents a unique opportunity to create a modern space that honors the home's historic soul. There's also a half basement for additional storage. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom with an original vanity. The space was once a very large primary suite with an attached nursery. A wall was added to create a third bedroom, which can be easily removed to restore the expansive original suite. Beyond the main home, the oversized lot is a private paradise. A large, sparkling pool creates a perfect oasis for relaxing or entertaining. The separate, detached ADU includes a full bathroom and a kitchenette, making it ideal for a guesthouse, a studio, or generating rental income. Practical updates include replaced sewer lines under the house, new pipes installed in the 1990s, and a new water heater from three years ago. The roof was also inspected and repaired in 2024. You'll find an original garage, a shed, and a storage barn at the back of the property. This is more than a house; it's an extraordinary opportunity to own a unique piece of history and thoughtfully blend its historic soul with modern comforts.
