Own a rare piece of California history on 12+ acres, established in 1854 by Electa Ousley. This 3,731 sq. ft. residence reflects the elegance of 19th-century agrarian life, with architectural details largely untouched by time. Held by only one family since its 1872 completion, the home offers a deep sense of heritage. Original wood-frame windows line the front, while 12-ft ceilings and a dramatic 24-ft entry hall create a grand arrival. Lathe-and-plaster walls, original fixtures, and a mahogany banister showcase period craft. Solid redwood doors feature hand-painted faux designs on amber-stained panels. The layout flows from a Victorian hallway into an Arts and Crafts dining room. Built on a foundation of concrete/native stone from the ranch, the home is shaded by a 100 year-old Sycamore in a garden of Victorian-era plantings and heritage roses now preserved in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden to carry the legacy forward.
