Built in 1927 on a street that predates it by seventy-five years, and rebuilt top to bottom for the way people live now. This three-bedroom, one-bath home sits in Vallejo's original townsite, the grid laid out by city founder John B. Frisbie, whose surveyor named the north-south streets for California counties and the east-west streets for states. Monterey has been on the map since the 1850s. The house itself belongs to the Mare Island era, when World War I tripled shipyard employment from roughly 3,000 to 10,000 and the city filled in block by block for the families who worked the yard. What's new is nearly everything. New roof. Fresh interior and exterior paint. New luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. A new kitchen and a new bathroom. New doors, new door hardware, new windows, and all new light fixtures. Mechanically, a new furnace and a new HVAC cooling system. The front yard has been landscaped for low maintenance and fitted with drip irrigation, ready for planting. Below the main level, a full unfinished basement runs the length of the house, offering an owner room to expand or to explore a separate rental unit down the road. Adjacent to the Architectural Heritage District, a designated historic district since 1973, and walkable to downtown, the waterfront, and the ferry. Period character, current systems, and room left to grow.
