Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, this lovingly restored historic beauty is a true downtown Clayton treasure, set on a rare double lot just one block from the heart of town! Brimming with charm and grace, this home wraps you in warmth from the moment you arrive. The massive front porch, complete with porch swing, feels like it was made for lemonade, good conversation, and waving at the town parades as they pass right by! Lovingly transformed between 2018-2020, the home's restoration preserved the details that make historic properties so special. Refinished original hardwoods, restored plaster walls, original doors with skeleton keys, original doorbell, select original light fixtures, cedar closets, and a beautifully restored vintage tub in the primary bath all add to the home's unforgettable personality. All 3 fireplaces were cleaned and deemed safe to use (though sellers have never used them). Original radiator heat remains in working order, and central heat and air were added for modern comfort. Plumbing and electrical were also updated during the renovation. The kitchen and butler's pantry hold onto their original cabinetry and farmhouse feel while offering standout features including a Wolf range, pot filler, center island, and appliances that all convey. A tankless water heater with reservoir adds convenience. The owners are even leaving some of the furniture they purchased specifically for the home, including 2 antique pieces! Outside, the setting is just as charming, with Trex decking, fenced backyard, cedar raised garden beds, eucalyptus tree, and extensive renovation improvements including roof, gutters with leaf guards, French drains, and rebuilt front porch. Seller has been told that the original heart-of-pine siding remains beneath the vinyl siding and is believed to be in good condition. Full of history, heart, and storybook charm, this downtown Clayton gem is truly one of a kind! Some photos have been virtually staged.
