In the heart of historic Chowchilla, where the spirit of the past intertwines with the promise of the future, lies an extraordinary opportunity waiting for the discerning buyer. Imagine stepping back to the early 20th century, when Chowchilla was a burgeoning agricultural hub, its streets filled with the hopeful echoes of settlers and dreamers.
At 320 Sonoma Avenue, a remarkable estate stands as a testament to this rich history. On a sprawling 20,000+ square foot lot, five charming and very separate homes tell their own stories. These cottages, with their timeless appeal, are more than just residences—they are pieces of Chowchilla's legacy. Four of the homes offer cozy two-bedroom, one-bath layouts, while the fifth presents a snug one-bedroom, one-bath design.
Though each home has its own unique character, they share a bond that crosses the boundaries of three separate parcels, much like the tight-knit communities of yesteryear. Imagine the generations of families who could live here, their lives intertwined much like the lots themselves.
In a nod to modern practicality, this historic opportunity breaks down to an astonishing $115,000 per home—a price unseen in Chowchilla for the past few years! It's a rare chance to embrace a piece of history while making a wise investment. Whether you envision a multi-generational family compound or an income-producing property, the potential here is boundless.
Currently, these homes are leased to long-term tenants, generating a total of about $4,040 per month. Each house has its own separate electrical and gas meters, with tenants responsible for their usage, while the owner manages water and sewer—an arrangement reminiscent of the community-oriented spirit of early Chowchilla.
As you consider this unique offering, think of the stories these homes hold, the lives they have sheltered, and the future they promise. This isn't just a purchase; it's an opportunity to be a part of Chowchilla's enduring legacy. Will you be the one to write the next chapter?
