About this House

This exquisite 1896 Victorian residence stands as arguably the finest example of its era in Ferndale's renowned Historic Victorian Village, a charming Northern California enclave celebrated for its impeccably preserved 19th-century architecture, set amid the redwoods and the Lost Coast.

Meticulously renovated with unwavering attention to historical integrity and modern comfort, no detail has been overlooked in this private retreat on a rare .37-acre city lot - offering exceptional space and seclusion in the heart of town. Step inside to discover original old-growth redwood flooring, lovingly revealed after removing dated carpet. Rich in character and warmth, these historic boards are complemented by custom wool contour area rugs tailored precisely to room dimensions for added softness and elegance underfoot.

The interior and exterior have been completely repainted using premium Farrow & Ball colors - renowned for their depth, subtlety, and timeless appeal - infusing every space with sophisticated, period-appropriate hues.

The kitchen shines with high-end Restoration Hardware cabinetry and fixtures, paired with exquisite Futagami brass lighting from Japan, adding artisanal warmth and refined industrial elegance. Additional interior spaces are illuminated by imported hanging lights sourced from Austria and the Netherlands - elegant, artisanal fixtures that blend European craftsmanship with subtle modern sophistication, enhancing the home's layered, worldly charm.

Custom inlaid Italian wall paintings imported from Milan adorn selected walls, bringing authentic Old-World artistry to this American classic. Grand Pease exterior doors and era-appropriate imported lighting enhance the home's authentic Victorian curb appeal.

Major systems have been fully updated for effortless living: the heating and cooling system was entirely replaced with efficient mini-split units, while a luxurious radiant heat source was added to the upstairs bathroom for spa-like comfort.

Outside, a comprehensive landscaping transformation has created inviting hardscape features throughout the front and back yards. Three of the four porches have been thoughtfully rebuilt from wood to durable concrete, ensuring longevity while maintaining graceful lines that honor the home's heritage.

This is more than a house - it's a masterpiece of preservation and refinement, where every element harmonizes the grandeur of 1896 with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. A truly rare opportunity to own one of Ferndale's most distinguished Victorians.
