An eclectic Anaheim cottage with serious main-character energy. Think English Tudor meets French countryside—all wrapped into a 1920s Pacific Ready-Cut Home, shipped by train, assembled like a life-size kit, and adored for nearly 100 years.
The original bones steal the show: classic double-hung sash windows, charming casement windows, true 1920s wood floors, picture rails, and a storybook built-in dining buffet that feels straight out of a vintage film reel. The kitchen? Still rocking its adorable breakfast nook, the kind that demands lazy mornings and something warm in a mug. A thoughtful 12x12 addition brings modern ease with a spacious bathroom + walk-in closet, blended effortlessly into the home’s historic architecture.
A white picket fence frames the lush, mature landscaping—pure cottage-core—but the backyard shifts into entertainer mode fast: a two-tiered deck, double-sided fireplace, firepit lounge, pergola, and a fully outfitted outdoor kitchen (BBQ, fridge, bar seating, the works). It’s a whole vibe.
In the rear: a beautiful 752 sq ft garage topped with a 715 sq ft ADU that feels like a European guest retreat. One bedroom, full kitchen, split A/C + heat, storage, privacy—ideal for guests, renters, creatives, or the person in your life who “just needs their own space.”
And the historic cherry on top: the Mills Act. The next steward inherits wonderfully low property taxes in exchange for keeping this gem exactly what it already is—plaque-worthy.
Blocks from Center City Anaheim, artisan dining, neighborhood bars, shops, the library, the post office—and yes, Disneyland close enough to add a hint of magic to the night air.
A rare blend of whimsy, history, craftsmanship, and personality. This cottage doesn’t just stand out—
it stands in its own era.
