Description

Own a Piece of Anaheim History: The Judge Homer Ames House (Circa 1911) – Mills Act Approved/ Program Participant!

Step into a timeless masterpiece at 303 N. Philadelphia Street – the distinguished Judge Homer Ames House. This unique, single-level Craftsman Bungalow boasts captivating Japanese-influenced architecture, characterized by its sprawling, low-pitched roofline and inviting open flagstone porch, all gracefully perched on a gentle sloping corner lot.

Beyond its breathtaking aesthetics, this home offers an extraordinary financial advantage: it's a Mills Act property, providing significantly reduced annual property taxes of just $3,371! Adding to its prestige, it's also proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a cherished part of the historic Melrose Backs Neighborhood within the Anaheim Colony historic district.

Built in 1911 by Judge Homer Ames just before he became Anaheim's esteemed City Attorney (1912-1925) and later a Superior Court Judge, this residence exudes history. Inside, a large, rectangular living room welcomes you with a classic fireplace and elegant French doors leading to a versatile office/den. The formal dining room is a true highlight, featuring exquisite pocket doors, a built-in buffet, and unique wainscoting design. Throughout the living spaces, large casement windows invite beautiful natural light and offer picturesque views of charming Washington Park.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled, offering plentiful crisp white cabinets, abundant counter space, and a convenient walk-in pantry. The remodeled bathroom is a triumph of design, seamlessly blending modern functionality with period-appropriate aesthetics.

Additional features include a BONUS room which can be a home office or a third bedroom, an oversized one-car garage with a dedicated workshop and laundry area, a small basement, a tankless water heater, central air and heat, newer roof, and two generously sized bedrooms.

Enjoy an unbeatable location just blocks away from the vibrant Center Street Promenade, the renowned Anaheim Packing District, and a myriad of downtown amenities. This is more than a home; it's a living legacy.
