This stately 1936 Colonial Revival-style New England cottage is one of those homes that always earns a second look-full of charm, character, and personality. Situated on a tree-lined street in the coveted Colony Historic District, this designated historic Mills Act home has been carefully preserved while benefiting from thoughtful system updates. Designed by its first resident and constructed of durable redwood, the home showcases classic Colonial Revival architecture, including an eclectic roofline with whimsical clipped gables, decorative fascia, and charming bay and picture windows with distinctive multi-paned detailing. Inside, original wood floors, coffered ceilings, classic windows, and beautiful original built-in cabinetry highlight the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The layout offers both a formal living room and a separate family room, each warm and inviting, with a wood-burning fireplace serving as a central focal point. A spacious dining area and an adorable round breakfast nook add to the home's timeless appeal. There are four private bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ample space for comfortable living. Outdoors, the backyard has been upgraded with drought-resistant landscaping and producing raised vegetable beds-ideal for relaxed outdoor enjoyment. The walkable location places you just minutes from downtown artisan shops, restaurants, wineries, breweries, the library, promenade, and the soon-to-open Packing District. Disneyland is also just a 5-minute drive away. Fun fact: This iconic Colonial Revival cottage was featured in No Doubt's “Sunday Morning” music video, filmed in the kitchen and garage. A rare opportunity to lease a historic, character-rich home that blends classic architecture, modern functionality, and an unbeatable neighborhood setting.
