826 Slater St, Santa Rosa, CA 95404

Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved Victorian in Santa Rosa's highly desirable Junior College neighborhood. Built in 1900 and offering 2,561 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this remarkable home blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful updates and exceptional versatility. From the moment you arrive, the home's period craftsmanship stands out: a shingled exterior accented by multiple styles of lap siding, eyebrow detailing above the front gable window, and an inviting partial wraparound front porch. Inside, soaring 10+ foot ceilings, original hardwood floors with intricate inlay detailing, original and restored wavey-glass windows, pocket windows, transom windows, and three impressive 8+ foot pocket doors showcase the craftsmanship of another era. Much of the interior plaster was beautifully restored in 2021, while doors and trim throughout the home were carefully stripped, refinished, and repainted to highlight their original detail. The expansive floor plan offers multiple living and entertaining spaces, including a formal living room, family room, dining room, and spacious kitchen. A large, clean basement provides excellent utility and laundry space, while the substantial attic offers additional possibilities for storage or future use and even features a charming outdoor balcony. One of the home's most significant improvements is a completely new foundation installed in 2004, an exceptional upgrade for a residence of this vintage. Additional recent improvements include landscaping, exterior repairs and paint, and other thoughtful maintenance. Home and pest inspections have already been completed, providing buyers valuable information and added peace of mind. Set on an approximately 8,063 sq ft corner lot, the property features beautifully maintained grounds and a detached two-car garage. The corner configuration and potential access from Howard Street create an exciting opportunity to explore an ADU or additional use of the property, subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals. Rich in history, character, and craftsmanship yet exceptionally functional for today 826 Slater Street is ideally located near the shopping, dining, schools, and tree-lined streets that make the Junior College neighborhood one of Santa Rosa's most sought-after areas.
