Property Description

BUILT: 1913 Restored (not remodeled) Historical 1913 California Craftsman Landmark District Jewel of Bungalow Heaven.   This nostalgic house is a blank slate waiting for a new owner to make their own memories & history. When entering this special house you will. get a feeling of stepping back in time. Most of the original 1913 building materials have been painstakingly brought back to life. House has original 1913 wood throughout. Wood has been restored & taken down to the bare wood that was used in original construction in 1913. Floors were sanded down to original bare wood as well & new stain & clear finish applied by a top flooring contractor. RAMBOARD was put on top of floors until all restoration was completed in order to keep the floor safe. All original 1913 wood doors were removed & taken to a special business to remove all finishes, etc. At this location doors were stripped of any & all coats of paint since 1913. Once down to raw 1913 wood they were restored with same color as when house was brand new. Like the floors a clear finish has been applied. The original 1913 window frames were removed & taken to same establishment. Only two French glass doors & two screen doors have been installed at rear entrances to house. Original 1913 brass door hardware was removed, taken to a business that specializes in brass restoration. Door knobs were dipped in a solution & all tarnish removed.
