Heritage homes are a mainstay of Petaluma’s unique charm. One such home — a three-bedroom, three-bathroom Craftsman, originally built in 1902 and renovated in 2008 — recently sold for $2.25 million.
The teal shingle and siding-clad home, with a surround of mature vegetation, maintains its cherished vintage details, but boasts modern updates.
Built-ins, beveled moldings and coved ceilings remain, but central heating, dimmer LED lights by Lutron Grafik and a gas conversion of one of the two fireplaces are among the added modern amenities that homes of this vintage often lack.
The 2008 renovation included the addition of a third story, skylights, four exterior gables and the expansion of rooms — all while retaining the home’s character and history.
According to the home’s listing agent, Rob Sullivan, about five or so heritage homes are listed for sale each year in Petaluma. The Petaluma Museum noted that Heritage Homes conducted tours of local historic homes from 1969 to 2016 and awarded about 170 plaques.
