    Set on one of Downtown Napa's most coveted streets, this meticulously maintained landmark residence traces its roots to the city's earliest days. Originally built in 1852 and once home to Ambassador Frank Coombs, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of California history. Designed for the quintessential Napa Valley lifestyle, the home seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. Mature, established landscaping, and towering hedges create a uniquely private setting. The grounds feature a solar-heated pool and collection of outdoor spaces for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment. The arrival experience is both dramatic and inviting. Soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, warm wood floors, soft lath-and-plaster walls, and abundant natural light create a timeless elegance. Equally suited for large gatherings and everyday living, the residence features multiple living and dining spaces, featuring 8' windows, 12' ceilings, original built-ins with mirrored shelving. The updated kitchen is bright and airy, overlooking the rear garden and drawing in all-day light. Supporting spaces include a generous scullery with storage and laundry nook, and a long, screened porch that functions as a mudroom with direct access to the backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat surrounded by treetop views. A hidden door reveals an oversized walk-in closet once used as a home office. The spacious en suite bath features a soaking tub and 2nd walk-in closet. Two guest bedrooms enjoy garden and pool views below. Outdoor living is where the property further distinguishes itself. Multiple lounge and dining areas are tucked among lush landscaping, creating a setting that feels worlds away from the city. An enchanting dining terrace illuminated by string lights overlooks the pool, complete with a Baja shelf and integrated umbrella receptacle. A full pool bath has been added to the garage, creating flexibility for future use. A recognized local landmark, this home reflects the spirit of Napa itself: honoring its history while embracing the future. Just moments from celebrated restaurants, boutiques, wellness amenities, farmer's market, cafes, and community gathering spaces, the property offers a rare blend of architectural significance, exceptional privacy, and resort-inspired living in the heart of Napa Valley, all an hour from San Francisco.
