About This Home
As of March 2018A true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity exists with the chance to own this distinguished and historically registered 1905 Wolfe and McKenzie shingle-style home. Known as the Herbert E. Cox home, this masterpiece has been featured in neighborhood home tours as the top pick, the Mercury News, and published in the Wolfe and McKenzie book of designs. In more recent years the home was restored to its original grandeur with a redesigned kitchen-of-dreams with a copper-colored tin ceiling, wood framed windows and doors, high end custom cabinetry, Jenn-Air appliances and a 3-oven gas range. A fantastic home for entertaining or comfortable living with an open welcoming parlor at the formal entry, massive living room and dining room with French doors open to the covered deck complete with pass-through to the kitchen. Mills Act property means LOW PROPERTY TAXES! This 2368 sqft stately home stands proudly at the very quiet corner of S.12th Street & San Antonio St in desirable Naglee Park area!
