Quintessential California cottages and ranch styles in Magnolia Park
Here in Magnolia Park, colorfully painted cottages and ranch-style homes sit alongside eucalyptus and towering palm trees rooted in gridded urban streets. These single-family homes often feature Mediterranean, Spanish Revival and Mission Revival influences such as terra cotta or tile roofs and arched doorways. Yards are well-maintained with grassy lawns and white picket fences, and the median lot size is around 6,500 square feet. The starting point for single-family homes is around $800,000 and may go up to $2 million. Remodeled properties larger than 2,000 square feet and custom-built new construction may list around $2 million to $3 million. Newer homes typically have contemporary styles or open floorplans. Several multi-unit properties can also be spotted, and these usually run between $1 million and $2 million. “The houses are all different and unique and cover the gambit from English cottage and Tudor to Spanish Revival and modern barn houses,” Ochse says. “Most of the houses are from the 1930s and 1940s and have been upgraded and configured. Accessory dwelling units are also common here.”
