About the Listing PWE120 - EGARCPAT

Welcome to the Gowdy House, a classic Craftsman triplex located in the highly sought-after Historic French Park neighborhood and designated as a contributive property on Santa Ana’s Historic Properties list, check for possible qualification for Mills Act. Rich in character and architectural charm, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with strong income potential. The property features three units: Unit A is a spacious ground-level residence of approximately 1,027 sq ft(buyer to verify), offering 2 bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill layout, 1 1/4 bath, a formal living room, dining area with built-in buffet, as well as a separate laundry room and pantry.
