About This Home

As of June 2025

Nestled in the heart of downtown Napa, 259 Franklin Street is an exceptional combination of period detail and present-day style. This beautifully preserved 1920s bungalow showcases rich architectural details, including cased ceilings with exposed wooden beams, expansive arched windows and a striking built-in cabinet with original glass and wood inlay. Sunlight fills the home, highlighting each thoughtfully crafted detail. The gourmet kitchen features a 6-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and elegant finishes that blend classic style with high-end functionality. Enjoy coffee and conversation in the cozy breakfast nook overlooking the garden. The main residence offers two generously sized bedrooms, while a detached suite above the garage includes a full bathroom and Murphy bed perfect for guests, a home office, or a creative retreat. The front yard, graced by a majestic California Pepper Tree recognized in the UC Master Gardeners publication for its beauty and historic significance is complemented by a handcrafted stone wall and a curated mix of native and Mediterranean-inspired plantings that reflect the home's timeless charm. 259 Franklin Street presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Napa's architectural heritage, thoughtfully updated for contemporary living.
