About this House

Own one of Arcata's most distinctive homes at 895 7th Street, known as the Baiocchi House. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers flexible living space with a main-level bedroom and bath, spacious kitchen and dining area, separate living room, oversized laundry room, and three additional bedrooms upstairs. Recent improvements include a new permitted roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, custom modern windows designed to preserve the historic feel, new countertops and backsplash, and a completed sewer lateral. Set on a mature fenced lot just blocks from downtown, the Plaza, Cal Poly Humboldt, shopping, dining, parks, schools, and transit. Historic character, practical updates, flexible space, and a central Arcata location make this one special opportunity. 895 7th Street offers the kind of combination that is increasingly difficult to find in Arcata: historic character, usable living space, meaningful recent improvements, a mature fenced yard, and a location close to nearly everything.

Known as the Baiocchi House, this distinctive residence offers approximately 1,684 square feet of living space with four bedrooms arranged across two levels. The floor plan provides flexibility that can adapt to a variety of living arrangements, whether the next owner needs guest accommodations, multigenerational space, a home office, hobby rooms, or simply room to spread out.

On the main level, a bedroom and bathroom provide the convenience of sleeping accommodations without relying on the stairs. The remainder of the first floor includes a spacious kitchen and dining area, separate living room, oversized laundry room, foyer, and access from both the front and rear of the home.

The kitchen has already received fresh updates, including new countertops and backsplash, helping brighten and refresh the space while still allowing a future owner to add their own style over time. The adjoining dining area offers room for everyday meals or larger gatherings, while the separate living room creates a defined space for relaxing and entertaining.

Upstairs are three additional bedrooms arranged around a central landing along with the second bathroom. Having bedrooms on both levels adds versatility to the home's layout and allows the space to accommodate changing needs over time.

Several significant improvements have already been completed. A new permitted roof was installed within the last four months. The home has also been freshly painted inside and out, giving the property a clean, refreshed appearance. Modern replacement windows were custom designed to maintain the historic feel of the residence rather than introducing an overly contemporary appearance. The sewer lateral has also been completed, addressing another important property component for the next owner.

Outside, the approximately 6,098 square foot lot provides a mature fenced yard with established landscaping and usable outdoor space. There is room for gardening, pets, outdoor gatherings, recreation, or simply enjoying additional privacy while still living in the heart of Arcata. Parking is available on the street as available.

Location is one of the property's strongest advantages. From 895 7th Street, downtown Arcata, the Plaza, Cal Poly Humboldt, restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, schools, public transportation, and many everyday services are all nearby. It is a location that offers the convenience and energy of central Arcata while still providing the privacy and outdoor space of a detached home with a fenced yard.

The Baiocchi House is also recognized locally for its historic character. A 1987 study identified the residence as a rare surviving Arcata example of its architectural type and documented the property's longstanding connection to the community. The property later became associated with Frank and Bruna Baiocchi, whose family connection gave the home the name by which it continues to be known.

That history gives 895 7th Street a sense of identity that is difficult to reproduce. Rather than a home stripped of its original personality, this property combines recognizable historic character with practical updates that have already addressed several substantial components.

Because the home is listed on Arcata's local historic register, certain alterations may be subject to City review or historic preservation requirements. Buyers considering future exterior changes, additions, or significant modifications should investigate current requirements directly with the City of Arcata.

The property is physically configured with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Public assessor information reviewed for the property reflects four bedrooms and one full bathroom. Buyers are advised to independently investigate and verify bathroom permit status, square footage, bedroom and bathroom count, year built, lot size, zoning, property boundaries, allowable uses, historic requirements, permits, and any intended future improvements to their satisfaction.

For buyers seeking something beyond the typical Arcata home, 895 7th Street presents a compelling opportunity: four bedrooms, a flexible two-level floor plan, a mature fenced lot, major recent improvements, recognizable historic character, and a highly central location just blocks from many of the places that make Arcata such a desirable place to live.

The Baiocchi House is not simply an older home in downtown Arcata. It is a distinctive piece of the community's architectural history that remains functional, inviting, and ready for its next chapter.

Buyer to independently verify all property information, including but not limited to square footage, bedroom and bathroom count, lot size, zoning, permits, property boundaries, allowable uses, historic designation requirements, systems, improvements, and any intended future use or modifications to the buyer's satisfaction.

  • Pax.jon.johnson
    "Some of my family is from here, and I go to school here. The arts scene (ie music, painting, photography, writing) is all super impressive and inviting. The college community is extremely welcoming and fun, but low key."

  • Buffy H. .
    "I can walk just about everywhere I need to go. My neighborhood has 5 Restaurants a quarter mile away and about 10 more a mile to 2 miles always. I can walk to 2 different grocery store, parks, the post office, town square where the Farmers Market is on Saturday’s. The south freeway is just 3 streets up or 2 streets behind me for north. I feel safe to walk all around my neighborhood. I take my pit bull on walks 2-3 times a day and the neighborhood people just love him. "

  • anon
    "I live by two bus stops that pick up once every hour to go either one way towards downtown or the other. The commute is pretty easy (only takes about 15-20 minutes to get downtown), although sometimes there will be people on the bus that stare at me/make me feel a bit unsettled. "
