About the Listing LCCAIR1 - LCAMSkeen,LCjmagliulo

There’s something special about a home that has stood the test of time — and this beautifully restored Victorian farmhouse in downtown Lakeport is one of those rare places that instantly feels like home. Located just one block from Clear Lake and only steps from Main Street, Xabatin Park, local restaurants, and shops, this is truly a “leave the car at home” kind of location. Set on a sunny corner lot of nearly one-third of an acre, the property blends historic charm with modern comfort and flexibility, thanks to its R3 zoning. The main two-story home offers four private bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom — a layout that’s ideal for hosting guests, multi-generational living, or a potential vacation rental setup while still feeling warm and welcoming as a primary residence. Mornings start on the inviting front porch with a cup of coffee and the quiet hum of downtown waking up. Evenings are best spent upstairs on the balcony, watching the neighborhood settle in as the sun goes down. Inside, the home is bright and spacious, with an open living and dining area, high ceilings, and a kitchen that beautifully balances vintage character with modern convenience. Original craftsmanship from the home’s 1863 roots is thoughtfully preserved, while updates throughout make everyday living comfortable and easy. Tucked behind the main house is a detached Carriage House, approximately 594 square feet, offering a one-bedroom, one-bath guest home with a full kitchen, open living space, and its own private entrance. Whether used for extended family, visiting friends, or additional rental income, it adds incredible versatility to the property. The backyard feels like a private retreat in the heart of town. Fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped, it features a fire pit, BBQ area, cabana, and a separate laundry and utility room — a perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying warm Lake County evenings under the stars. This is more than just a house — it’s a piece of Lakeport history ready for its next chapter. Whether you’re looking for a historic home with modern amenities, an income-producing property, or a walkable downtown retreat near Clear Lake, this one-of-a-kind property offers character, location, and opportunity that rarely come together in one place.
