Aah, the romance of restoration…
And the good fortune to find a structure worthy of renaissance, for Old Yellow House (OYH) was designed and executed in 1894 with integrity. Its original plan was highly efficient, packing an abundance of practical living area into a compact space…its great bones support expansion.
Those with vision, in particular, local Cal Berkeley-educated architect, Stan Nielsen, feels this structure has great potential. A specialty of Nielsen's is designing renovation and restoration for historic Colonial and Federalist homes. Uniquely qualified to discuss his vision and the viability of this project, Nielsen is available to consult with the serious, prospective buyer.
Public records reflect OYH is a 1,280 SF structure with 6 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen and front parlor. According to Nielsen, by adding an approx. 600 SF to the existing home, it is possible to create up to 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, formal living room, formal dining room, and kitchen with adjoining family room, laundry area.
Old Yellow House is not on the Historic Register, so its fate rests in the hands of its new owners. It is an enchanting structure, on a lovely wooded property with rippling creek and a rich history that makes us smile as we reflect on remembrances of things past…
