Overview

Description

Truly one-of-a-kind property, the John Cottrell house has caught the imagination of the public since its inception in 1902. This three-story, 2600 sf Victorian was exceptionally crafted as a showpiece for Cottrell's talents with many exterior wood details including unique carvings, balconies, and Queen Anne detailing. This private sanctuary includes an expertly landscaped 13,000 sf lot, with a separately metered, two-story carriage house, a 1780 sf garage/shop, green house, pond, pergola, and rose garden. The main house features four bedrooms, both front and rear parlors, formal dining room, kitchen, and two baths - all meticulously curated with period wall coverings and carpets, original hardware, fixtures, and coal fireplaces. The unfinished attic has its own balcony and stained glass.

Supplements: Contemporary plumbing, hvac, electrical, and perimeter foundation. All the wood, including siding, porches, and kitchen cabinets is old growth Redwood. The level of quality, craftsmanship, and attention to preservation and restoration is unparalleled. This National Registered Property is one of Eureka's most exclusive homes.
