Step into a piece of Petaluma history. Built in 1862, this was the first home on the block and remains a true local gem! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a generous lot just blocks from historic downtown Petaluma. Inside, you'll find a formal parlor, dining room, living room, and three fireplaces. The spacious 4-car garage (~600 sq. ft.) offers exciting potential for an ADU, guest house, or pool house. At the same time, ample off-street parking adds convenience. The quarter-acre, private yard, invites endless possibilities; add a pool, expand the living space, or create your dream garden escape. With its original architectural details, tall ceilings, and solid construction, this home offers the perfect canvas for your dream home. The formal parlor could be transformed into a beautiful bedroom with bay windows, an undeveloped attic space, an office, or a bedroom, and many other options. The bones are strong, the style is Italianate classic, and with some updates, the potential is huge to own one of the best-located vintage homes in Petaluma. Whether you're drawn by the character, the history, the oversized lot, or the unbeatable location near vibrant downtown Petaluma's shops and dining, this is a rare chance at a true historic gem.
