A historic home in Sacramento, California, that was rented by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, in the 1960s and ’70s is set to hit the market for $4.995 million.
The white-brick English Tudor-style home, built in 1929, is in a coveted Sacramento neighborhood known as “The Fab 40s,”’ and was completely restored by its current owners in 2001, according to Kim Pacini-Hauch of RE/MAX, who has the listing.
“It really retains its original splendor but updated with current amenities,” Ms. Pacini-Hauch told Mansion Global. “It’s on 45th Street, which is the most coveted street in the neighborhood. And this house is the grande dame.”

At close to 7,000 square feet and described in marketing materials as a three to four bedroom, the home sits on a half-acre and is surrounded by manicured English gardens. The property’s extensive outdoor space includes multiple seating areas, a fountain, a firepit and a spacious brick patio with seating and an outdoor kitchen, according to listing photos. A covered indoor-outdoor patio opens into the outdoor kitchen and entertaining areas, as well.
The home itself has a gracious two-story entrance hall framed by a dramatic staircase.
“This house has the grandest entrance, and that hall really served as a ballroom for entertainment,” Ms. Pacini-Hauch said. “And the living room has four sets of French doors front to back through private verandas.”
