Welcome to the historic Owen House, an iconic Queen Anne Victorian built in 1888 for Clifford Owen, son of SJ Mercury News publisher J.J. Owen. Nestled in the historic Lake House District, this architectural gem anchors the neighborhood as one of its oldest buildings & easily stands out w/its asymmetrical tower, steeply pitched rooflines & ornate craftsmanship. Inside, the home blends preserved period details w/modern comforts including updated electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling. The formal entry sets an elegant tone w/parquet floors, crown molding & tall ceilings, leading to a front parlor that doubles as a bedroom. The family room features a fireplace & connects to the grand dining room. The spacious kitchen at the rear offers tiled counters, coffered ceiling, modern appliances & access to the backyard, basement, and a second stairway to the upper level. A full bath w/free-standing bathtub completes the main level. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, a full bath & access to an unfinished attic w/potential for more living space. The full basement adds flexibility for storage, workshop, or wine cellar. Outside, enjoy a private backyard w/paver patios, brick walkways, detached garage & driveway access to Delmas.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
