About this single-family home

Step back to the when life was significantly different than today’s modern world. Trains were the main transportation to travel townships and cross states, bustling people, crops, and industry from place to place. Earlier times when this estate was built, approximately 1885-1905, horticulture was drawing wealthy stakeholders to Palermo where soils and weather conditions were perfect for citrus and olive groves. Trains brought in the wealthy stakeholders and investors from San Francisco and the east coast, and the north state was placed on the map! The original history has been preserved in this estate, known as, “Magnolia Manor”. Take a deep breath and walk the pathways of gardens, water fountains, ponds and old growth trees that provide serenity. Sit on the wrap around porch with vaulted ceiling taking in the surrounding orchards and current rural township of Palermo. The Magnolia Manor has large sash windows for natural light and air flow and once was lit at night by gas lamps and wood burning stoves. Brought into today’s modern world, the home has been fully renovated by owners over the years and boasts today’s modern amenities, new roof, gutters, updated electrical, HVAC, Ductless AC/Heat, 6 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms and backup generator 22KW w/automatic transfer switch. Don’t forget to enjoy the large swim spa to relax! The home has tasteful décor, two large staircases, stunning bedrooms with amazing views, large formal dining room, parlor and living room to entertain. The large basement is great for storage and there is a large partially finished third story that has room for additional living area and another full bathroom. Third story provides access to the bell tower to enjoy garden, sunrise and sunset surrounding views! This estate is being offered with upgrades to still be done or the home can be purchased as is, allowing you to complete the remaining cosmetic additions to your liking. Pre-Qualification is required to view the home. Please do not disturb occupants.
