Sneak Peek at a Graceful Colonial Coming Soon
During the late 1800s and early 1990s Petaluma's leading builders mingled elaborate Victorian ideas with colonial building practices, creating an elegant, though understated style known as Colonial Revival. Typically painted white with dark green or black shutters, Colonial Revival homes were and still are, widely sought after for their graceful symmetry and elegant center entry hall.
The opportunity to own a piece of Petaluma's history with this turn-key, fully restored heritage Colonial home is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for lovers of fine architecture and gracious living.
Not on the market until Wednesday, February 11th, this large and extraordinarily lovely home awaits a discerning buyer. For more info email timo@timorivetti.com.
Built in 1900 for the Behren Family at a cost $2,500, the state of the art home had an original unpainted wooden exterior. Back in those days, Petaluma was the nation's largest shipping point for dairy produce and a bustling agricultural community would have held the Sixth Street address as one of the most prestigious in town. Although commerce, industry and agricultural practices have altered dramatically over the past century and the city's population has grown tenfold, one thing is for sure, the Behren home is every bit as beautiful today in its premier heritage home district position as it was back in the day!
