Property Description

First time on the market in 74 years! This Crocker Highlands Grand Dame, a Prairie School Craftsman designed by famed architects Newsom & Newsom-whose family lineage includes California Governor Gavin Newsom-has had just two owners since its inception in 1919. Now squarely in the fixer-upper category, 685 Rosal offers perhaps a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring this pedigreed property back to life as the dream home it's meant to be. The original Schaefer Residence features generous room proportions, with all three bedrooms on the same level, including a spacious primary suite that opens to the original enclosed sun porch. The expansive living room adjoins a family room, once used as a library, while the formal dining room and impressive foyer-originally called the Reception Hall-reflect the gracious scale of the home. Much of the original period detail remains, including white oak hardwood floors throughout, beautifully preserved gumwood moldings, crown molding, a wide central staircase with wooden balustrades, built-ins, and an ornate fireplace with a wood surround. The basement level, with a ceiling height measured at 7.5 feet, was once the family rumpus room, complete with a pool table. This space offers exciting potential for expanded living area on the ground floor;
