Property Description

Once called “the Jewel of Meadowbrook,” Viewcrest Manor is a stunning 3-unit Victorian home and gardens built in 1900. Lovingly restored to grandeur with all city permits and approvals, this gated 2,576 sq ft* property offers a blend of historical charm and modern convenience. Enter the main Victorian through spectacular original doors to the four-bedroom principal unit. You’re greeted with a dramatic sun porch with a 180-degree view at the front, gorgeous original hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, and all sorts of charming Victorian details - even a secret attic! The two-bedroom secondary unit is located on the ground level, and a studio is situated at the rear. Elevated features include gas cooking and eat-in kitchens as well as granite countertops, dishwashers, microwaves, and smart locks in all units. The tubs have frameless, foldable, or swinging glass doors for convenience, safety, and style. The laundry room features side-by-side capacity and room for storage. Step outside into five distinct, lush gardens: a Gourmet Edible Shade Garden, a drought-tolerant Medicinal Garden, roses, wildflowers, and a meandering orchard featuring mango, fig, olive, and European plum trees. Additional flexibility is provided by a sizable workshop at the back of the property - an ideal space for an office, studio, gym, or creative retreat.** Explore ADU or other income-generating options as well.*** Whether hosting on the spacious concrete entertaining pad or relaxing in the serene landscaped grounds, the outdoor experience is as elevated as the interior. There’s even a tub for an outdoor bath or cold plunge! Complete with a two-car detached garage, gated security, and a package locker, Viewcrest offers the perfect blend of Victorian charm and contemporary ease. A great opportunity for house hackers, Viewcrest Manor would also make a spectacular primary residence, a multi-generational living oasis, or a sound investment.
