About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome to 210 West Elm Street—a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1927 home located in a desirable Brea neighborhood. Recognized by the Brea Historical Society as the Ralph and Edytha Barnes House (#53), this historic gem is full of charm and character, and may also qualify for property tax savings under the Mills Act. With three bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,430 square feet of living space on a 6,000 square foot lot, this home offers a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. As you enter, you’re welcomed into a light-filled living room with a large front-facing window, curved ceilings, and charming architectural details. The space flows into the formal dining room, which also features curved ceilings and windows that overlook the covered front porch. The kitchen has been lovingly preserved to maintain its original character, complete with vintage appliances and a sunlit breakfast nook framed by stunning original windows that offer views of the front yard.Throughout the home, you’ll find many original elements, including the original windows, paired beautifully with modern upgrades such as central heating and cooling, a whole-home water filtration system, updated bathroom, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The garage door has also been updated. Down the hallway are two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Upstairs, a finished attic provides flexible space that can serve as a third bedroom, home office, or creative retreat. Off the back of the home, a bonus room adds even more functionality—ideal for an additional living area, studio, or potential fourth bedroom. Warm, inviting, and filled with natural light, this move-in-ready home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brea’s rich architectural history.
