Property Description

Relive the history of Tehama in this turn of the century stately home. Built in 1898 by the Simpson family, it is one of the original homes in the City of Tehama complete with the original barn. The Simpsons owned most of Tehama including the hardware store, explaining the grandeur of this 2,277 sf home. It has been well maintained and upgraded over the years while still retaining much of the original charm. From 12' ceilings to massive crown molding, to intricate architectural lines, this is truly one of a kind home. The sun room is a great spot to sit, especially in the winter as the sun pours through a bank of windows. The living room features a brick fireplace with insert and opens up to the formal dining area. You'll appreciate the thick butcher block counters in the kitchen along with the 5 burner gas stove w/ optional griddle. The laundry room is sunny and spacious. A huge walk in closet highlights the master bedroom while the master bath has a spacious, tiled walk in shower. Over half an acre filled with towering shade trees, wisteria draping from the deck coverings, fruit trees of almost every kind (peach, orange, grapefruit, plum, nectarine, apple, black walnut) plus a garden area and small vineyard create a magical and serene setting you can enjoy from four different decks. There's even a huge above ground pool for a quick cooling in the summer or just walk half a block to the Sacramento River. This home sits high and has never flooded even though the entire City of Tehama is in a flood area. The old barn is still standing and a great place to tinker and store your tools and equipment. Here's a great opportunity to enjoy the past while bringing another generation to this classic 123 year old home.
