Home of the Week: 215 Prospect Street - Petaluma’s Brewster District 

Ok, so the last “pick of the week” was just a few days ago, but I have to mention this new listing.  I’ve been waiting for this listing to come up for some time now, my parents and I had it listed back in 2006 and sold it in 2005.  I’ll admit a slight bias in my favorable opinion of the place but honestly, it’s fantastic!  If you’ve been looking for a vintage home, this is the one!
Why is this such a great property?  Not only is it stunning architecturally (Custom built by Brainerd Jones), but is it’s basically done, and done right.   Maybe the following will give you an idea of what I mean.

What do you do with a typical Victorian?  Kitchen, structural components, heating?
Here’s what’s been done to 215 Prospect:  
Kitchen – Travertine floors, Custom Cherry-wood Cabinets, Antique Marble and Coarse-Cut granite countertops (very unique) with subway tile backsplash.   Appliances: Viking 6 burner gas range, stainless steel hood, double ovens, & Jenn-Air refrigerator.  
Structural: Newer 40-year roof & extensively seismically upgraded foundation. Upgraded Forced-Air Heating System with two newer furnaces installed and dual-zone climate control  
Aesthetic: 90% of interior walls refinished with top-quality contemporary paint – wallpaper removed. 
What you don’t touch: Box-Beam Ceiling, quartersawn oak floors, Oak Cornice & Molding, Arts and Crafts windows…this place has them all.  This is not a typical Victorian, large bedrooms, large living areas, and no odd-ball parlors or butler’s pantries.  Throw in a new bathroom and you’ve got quite the place!  Drop me a line and I’d be happy to get you in, or go here for the Virtual Tour. 
Enjoy!-Armand
