It's rare that you find a Fair Oaks home for sale with a history like this one. Located on 6 riverfront acres, overlooking the American River, this stately Victorian has quietly stood sentinel over Fair Oaks as it has grown from a sleepy turn of the century citrus community to ... well, we're still a sleepy town on the banks of the American River.
3920 Edgevale Court was built at the turn of the century - the LAST century, that is - and is in amazing shape. The copper roof protected the home from one hundred years of Fair Oaks rain, preserving the gingerbread trim and Victorian details. Pretty original, it needs a little loving, like a new kitchen, bathrooms and such, but the woodworking details are fairly pristine. But who cares about a little elbow grease? This is an amazing home, on prime property in Fair Oaks.
When the current owner bought the home, it had been overgrown with vegetation, to where it was hard to even know there was a house there at all. It had been in the Tropper/Reimers families since 1920, and since the late '70s had become overgrown. But a massive tree trimming project unveiled this Victorian jewel. The owner moved it on the property to its current location to allow better access to the 6 parcels which have already been subdivided, needing only a road for access.
For a cool Two Million you can be living in this amazing historic relic on 6 acres (with 6 parcels) on the bluffs of Fair Oaks. How cool is that!
