Beautiful 5 Bedroom Craftsman Fixer in Woodland for Sale
‘Tis the dream of many a buyer to purchase a Craftsman fixer in Woodland. So many historic homes in this quaint Yolo County town. It’s the stuff HGTV shows thrive upon. But the path from potential to stunning might be littered with a few challenges and roadblocks along the way. You’ve really got to possess a bit of experience to make it rehabbing. It can’t just be wishful thinking on your part as a buyer. However, in defense of the renovation work, these historic homes generally were constructed with superior materials in comparison to how builders throw up new construction today.
Working on these types of homes can often result in a labor of love. My last home prior to our place in the Sacramento neighborhood of Land Park happened to be built in 1898. I renovated that home mostly myself, and made many mistakes. I cannot believe I gave away the clawfoot tub in favor or a large walk-in shower, but what the hey. Younger and more foolish, I blame it upon.
This Craftsman fixer in Woodland will take your breath away. For starters, look at this entry and formal living room. All original woodwork, and in immaculate condition. Those famous tapered columns from the huge front porch carry inside to the formal spaces as well. So many original vintage light fixtures, too. Check out that beautiful brick fireplace and mantle.
Then, when you think it can’t get any prettier, feast your eyes on the formal dining room. Now, that’s what I call a buffet and china cabinet with pull out drawers in pretty much pristine condition. Its stupendous boxed ceiling is the crowning glory of this gorgeous room.
One of the really nice features of this home is the surprise of a first-floor bedroom. Look at how large and gracious the room is. In fact, all of the bedrooms are pretty good sized. A little elbow room is good. Who wants their bed crammed into a tiny space that runs wall-to-wall? This home features 5 bedrooms and 2 baths.
County records show the square footage of this Craftsman fixer in Woodland for sale at 2,342 sq. ft. At one time, there was a garage, but it was long ago torn down. The lot size is .17 acre, according to the Yolo County Assessor.
