There isn’t anything in all of Old Towne (and perhaps all of Orange County) like this beautiful craftsman home. The Historic Edwards Estate is an iconic 2-story home that sets the tone for the Historic District in terms of historical significance, size, and flexibility of use. Built in 1915 by Nelson Edwards, a state senator who went on to be named, “Man of the Half Century,” this home is a 4 bed/2.5 bath with office and laundry room (but could be configured to be 6 bedrooms). Gleaming hardwood floors lead to an incredible kitchen, dining room big enough for even the largest of families, period correct light fixtures & the original built-in china cabinet. The home boasts nearly 2,800sf of living space, an extra 550sf (estimated) screened patio & large basement -- all situated in a park-like setting w/mature avocado & orange trees. A short walk to the Historic Plaza, this estate has been a personal residence for 100 yrs. However, it is in a mixed-use residential/commercial zone – so a B&B, restaurant, daycare, office/retail, are all possibilities. More than $40k in recent upgrades including: professionally landscaped (front and rear), custom wooden roll-up garage door, and much more. The estate has super low taxes via the Mills Act - just $290/month.
