Picture 9 gives you a good example of “Graining” or faux woodwoork.
That graining really adds something to the wood. I didn’t know what it was until you pointed that out and I took a second look. It’s lovely.
It’s very cool. Glad no one painted over it. My front doors were grained. Everyone thought they were stained. I told them to look closer at the corners where there were some chips and dings. You can see some yellow paint. The doors were made out of ash inside and the ceiling and staircase as well. But they wanted to appearance of a different wood on the outside and grained them. Unique part of this period history.
Hangtown! A great little town on the way to
Lake Tahoe from Sacramento.
So many beautiful details included in the listing…the doorknobs, the beautiful hinges!
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that with the right color paint, they would keep that blue and green patterned carpet in the bedroom? (At least for a while. ? ) And the front door, and the pantry and builtins in the dining room. Beautiful.
I also noticed the door hardware; Some of the knobs and plates are different, but in no way does it detract from how beautiful this home is. It only adds a little more character!
I am digging the 70’s rec room and bar action…
The house and everything about the area is off the charts. I used to live 2 doors away.
The Victorian era is amazing. Wow! What a GEM!! I would snatch up this house in a minute!!!!!
I’m trying to recreate that exact front door on our 1896 Victorian. It’s stunning!
Its absolutely positively outstanding!
Ive been searching for an older home with character and beauty, two story with a basement and a couple of fireplaces yet even though this Victorian does not display any fireplaces, its the closest to becoming my reality! Just georgeous!
What a warm, beautiful house.
yes- gorgeous house and wonderful example of wood graining! I’d moe in in a heartbeat!!

A realtor who gets us! 🙂 All the detail pictures are great, I particularly appreciate the light fixtures. Something about that pantry speaks to me, too and that front door!
I love everything about this house. However, my absolute favorite part is the carpet(especially on the stairs) and the basement. I wouldn’t change either one!
An old family friend and his wife restored this house back in the late 70’s. All of the interior trim is redwood and Clem painstakingly removed old paint to reveal a lot of the original graining. When they bought it, my folks thought they were crazy, but Clem had walked past this house everyday in high school and said one day he’s going to live in that old house. Clem was the one who got us interested in Victorian houses and told us when the old Shafsky house across the street came on the market, you can see it through the bay window in the parlor photo. He gave us plenty of help and advice during our restoration. While we moved away 25 years ago to another Gold Rush town to restore more Victorians, we kept in touch. Clem and Karen didn’t have any kids, so this house was their life and was always treated with love.

Thanks for the backstory! I love this place. It offers the kind of home I love while still staying in CA at an affordable price.
