A storied property in Sacramento — once home to Ronald and Nancy Reagan — hit the market for $4.995 million.
The three bedroom, six bathroom English Tudor home is located in Sacramento’s “Fab 40s” neighborhood — but it is best known for being the residence of former President Reagan and his wife during his time as governor of California.
The home was built in 1929 as a family home for George Pollock, a famed contractor credited with building Sacramento’s iconic Tower Bridge.
Since then, only five families — including the Reagans — have lived in the home, said real estate agent Kim Pacini-Hauch, who is listing it with Re/MAX Gold Sierra Oaks.
“When you drive by, your heart pounds,” she said. “It’s the most beautiful house on the street.”
Pacini-Hauch said she has already given several showings of the property, which has only been on the market since Friday. Though no offer date is set, they expect the property to sell quickly.
Measured at just under 7,000 square feet, the home was designed by Dean & Dean Architects to faciliate hosting and entertainment. The property has multiple formal rooms, seven fireplaces, a dramatic staircase, a large chef’s kitchen and a basement converted to include a wine cellar and media center.
Many of these features were created in 2001, when the current sellers underwent a complete remodel of the home — though many of its original architectural features are still intact, Pacini-Hauch said.
Another highlight, she added, is the backyard. Elegantly manicured English gardens with multiple lounge spaces encircle the home.
