Property Description
Completely Renovated 1938 Historic Home – The Edward & Lilian Peterkin house (No. 49)
Welcome to this stunningly restored 1938 Brea Historical Society treasure, officially recognized as The Edward & Lilian Peterkin House (Historic Property No. 49). This immaculate 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a functional, thoughtfully designed layout that seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury.
Undergoing a fully permitted, year-long restoration, no detail was overlooked and no corners were cut. The home features brand-new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, along with restored windows, a completely designer updated kitchen with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and beautifully restored original wood work throughout. The bathrooms have been elegantly redesigned, maintaining classic charm while offering modern comfort and style.
Across the street, enjoy the vibrant community park, home to seasonal celebrations like summer concerts, festive gatherings, and a spectacular 4th of July celebration. It’s the perfect setting to relax in a safe neighborhood spirit.
Adding to its rich legacy, this home once welcomed Judy Garland, the legendary actress from The Wizard of Oz, making it not just a residence but a fascinating piece of Hollywood history.
As part of the local historic society and qualifying for the Mills Act, this home comes with significant property tax savings, making it an exceptional opportunity to own a true historic masterpiece.
