About this home

Step beyond the sunlit veranda and into a story only a few have lived. Originally curated and handcrafted by artist and designer Christine McConnell, this extraordinary home blends gothic romance, mid-century charm, and artisan craftsmanship across every inch — from its hand-painted “wallpaper” to its vintage kitchen. Each room carries a distinct personality: a velvet-draped living room with hidden secrets, a sun-drenched retro kitchen with original appliances, a formal dining room bathed in gold tones, and a dreamy, light-filled primary suite with custom-painted details. Even the separate guest suite — accessible via a secret trapdoor or its own private entrance — evokes the charm of a bygone era. Set on an expansive 18,523 square foot lot, this rare beauty from 1937 offers rare seclusion and presence in a neighborhood of more modest parcels. Framed by towering trees and three wide decks, the home feels worlds away — yet remains entirely grounded in its thoughtful design. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, the home offers a rare chance to own a piece of living artwork. A true icon, it served as the original filming location for the pilot episode of The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell and continues to enchant guests and fans alike. This is not just a house. This is a curated experience — a collectible — ready for its next caretaker. May be available furnished, for those who understand its magic.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1937, this property has been meticulously preserved and curated with a unique gothic romance and mid-century charm. While the home is in excellent condition for its specific aesthetic, the kitchen explicitly features 'original appliances' which, despite their vintage appeal, are outdated by modern standards of efficiency and technology. The overall style, including light fixtures, flooring, and general decor, is intentionally retro and not aligned with contemporary design trends. The property is well-maintained but its major functional components, particularly in the kitchen, show signs of being outdated, fitting the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unique Artistic Design: The property boasts a highly unique and curated artistic design, blending gothic romance and mid-century charm, handcrafted by artist Christine McConnell, offering a truly distinctive and collectible living experience.
Historical & Media Significance: As the original filming location for 'The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell,' the home carries significant historical and media appeal, attracting a niche market of fans and collectors.
Expansive & Secluded Lot: Set on a generous 18,523 square foot lot, the property offers rare seclusion and presence within the neighborhood, framed by towering trees and providing ample outdoor space.
Versatile Guest Suite: A separate guest suite, accessible via a secret trapdoor or private entrance, provides unique charm, privacy, and versatility for guests or as a creative space.
Outdoor Living & Views: The home features three wide decks and offers serene mountain and tree/woods views, enhancing outdoor living and providing a tranquil, 'worlds away' atmosphere.

Cons

Outdated Kitchen Functionality: The kitchen features 'original appliances' which, despite their vintage appeal, are outdated by modern standards of efficiency and technology, potentially requiring upgrades for contemporary living.
Niche Aesthetic Appeal: The highly specific gothic romance and mid-century retro aesthetic, while a strength for some, significantly narrows the potential buyer pool, limiting broad market appeal.
Small Interior Square Footage: With only 948 square feet of interior living space, the home is relatively small, which might not meet the needs of buyers seeking more spacious accommodations, especially given the large lot size.
