Property Description
One-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire Henry K. Pierce Victorian in Downtown Santa Cruz: - Original Owners: Cornelius Capplemann, who arrived in Santa Cruz in 1869 after mining for gold in California. - Architectural Features: The homes most outstanding feature is the original curly redwood used in the sliding doors, staircase and molding. - Property History: The lot originally began on Locust and extended through to Union Street (then Park St). The property behind it (on Locust) was the original Capplemann home, and the two daughters were gifted the frontage as wedding presents. - The "Spite" House: One of these gifted lots contains the local "spite" house. - Site Layout: A barn previously stood behind the house where the garage and apartment are now located. The history of this home speaks for itself and adds significant value to the listing. This home has been iconic for 128 years as it was owned by the original family until 1967 (69 years), and the current family has owned it since 1971 (almost 55 years)
