About this home

Discover a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained 1956 Ranch-style home offering the charm of country living with the convenience of city life. Instantly recognizable by its classic barn-red exterior and signature wagon wheel, this distinctive single-level residence preserves the authentic character of mid-century California ranch living while incorporating thoughtful modern upgrades. Inside, warm knotty pine paneling, rich wood ceilings, solid wood doors, vintage tile flooring, and original cabinetry create an inviting atmosphere filled with timeless character. The spacious 2,014-square-foot floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a generous living room, an oversized family room, and an expansive eat-in kitchen—offering plenty of room to gather, entertain, and relax. Set on approximately 14,810 square feet, the property invites you to embrace a more independent, country-inspired lifestyle.

High ceilings, sliding barn doors, built-in cabinetry, a professional-grade car lift, and expansive work areas create an impressive setting for vehicle projects, woodworking, equipment storage, or creative pursuits. Enjoy added peace of mind with significant improvements, including replacement windows installed in 2023, a roof replaced in 2018 on both the house and garage, and a Mitsubishi mini-split system providing heating and cooling to the rear of the home. The owned 21-panel solar system has helped reduce electric bills to less than $100, offering an appealing advantage for energy-conscious buyers. Character. Space. Versatility. Opportunity. This is more than a home—it’s a distinctive ranch-style property for buyers who value craftsmanship, room to create, and a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find within the city.
