Turn-key and meticulously maintained, this rare 1913 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Mission Oak Craftsman bungalow offers the perfect blend of historic character, modern updates, and cottage-like charm. Nestled among mature pines and lush perennials, the private setting features a balcony, deck, and peaceful views that create a true retreat in the heart of town.
Offering 2,160 finished square feet, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases original Mission Oak woodwork, pocket doors, refinished maple flooring with ornate Bird’s Eye maple inlays, and a grand centrally located staircase that serves as a stunning architectural focal point. Constructed with substantial old-growth timbers and quality craftsmanship rarely found today, the home feels exceptionally sturdy and solid. The rich, solid wood trim and millwork throughout would be prohibitively expensive to reproduce in a modern home. Thoughtfully designed to maximize every square foot, the home features abundant storage, walk-in closets, and highly efficient use of space. The poured concrete foundation has remained dry and free of water issues, providing peace of mind and valuable storage space.
Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a completely renovated kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and pantry/coffee bar, along with updated bathrooms, new shingles, interior and exterior paint, landscaping, cordless cellular shades, carpeting, washer and dryer, water softener, outlets, switches, and light fixtures throughout, including a beautiful Tiffany-style dining room chandelier.
The flexible floor plan includes spacious living and dining areas, a potential main-floor bedroom suite, three upstairs bedrooms with walk-in closets, and an updated upper-level bath featuring a soaking tub. The finished lower level offers a large family room, fifth bedroom, cedar sauna with new electric stove, and abundant storage space. Additional features include Andersen Renewal windows, on-demand hot water, an air exchange system, and a detached two-car garage with loft storage.
Despite its generous size, the home maintains a warm and inviting feel, balancing spaciousness with the cozy charm of a cottage. Exceptionally clean and lovingly cared for, this move-in-ready home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history while enjoying the comfort, craftsmanship, and reliability of a beautifully updated home.
