Healdsburg: Vintage Victorian in Vino Country

Are you raising a blended family: mine, his and ours? Growing more offspring than the average American? This gigantic Victorian has a new roof, paint, wallpaper, foundation and a commercial stainless steel kitchen.

If you dream of a mighty big vintage house in the middle of the Wine Country, and you love to cook, this one might be your thing. With all the new mechanicals in place, you could go all out with the decor. And when you and the rest of your Brady Bunch want to play in nature, Matheson St. runs from downtown to some of the best swimming on the cleanest part of the Russian River.

Schools here are California Distinguished, there are parks and squares and if you have any money left, lots of opportunities for dining and shopping. The Raven Theatre has live shows and movies. Bovolo has fabulous pizza. Sip a morning cappuccino at the Flying Goat, after you get your own kidlettes out the door. Or just stay home and cook. With that kitchen, create a marketable commodity that will help pay the hefty property taxes.

Owners are very motivated, and have dropped the price. It looks like they may have already moved out, which adds an air of desperation. Houses priced at one mil and over in Healdsburg are moving slower than a herd of drunk snails in a field of cornmeal, so take a look inside and make an offer. Some furniture is included in the price; if it’s what I saw, you might want it.
