Located in historic downtown Vacaville, 113 Buck Avenue is a beautifully preserved, single-story Victorian home, linked to local history and full of so many possibilities for the future. Built in the early 1900s as part of a caretaker’s unit for Vacaville’s historic Buck Family Estate, 113 Buck Avenue consists of a 2,337-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath main house; an adorable, recently constructed, 700-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath granny flat; and an expansive barn that is original to the complex.

With a white picket fence and a pergola, the front yard landscaping also boasts a large stone patio with a sweet fountain. Painted a serene shade of sea foam with a welcoming red door, the main home was modernized in the early 2000s. The updates included replacing the entire electrical system and all the plumbing, as well as adding two new HVAC units and more square footage.

Bright and updated, the gourmet kitchen features a large center island with a Wolf cooktop, double Dacor full sized ovens, ample room for food prep, lots of storage space, vaulted 10.5 foot ceilings, cut-out clerestory windows, a built-in bookcase and small desk, and large windows with a built-in storage bench. Just off the kitchen is an elegant formal dining room complete with the original butler’s pantry. There are original moldings and windows in both the dining room and living room that have been beautifully preserved and lend period charm. The dining room opens to the living room, which is centered around a detailed fireplace with original built-in bookshelves that frame the opening to the dining room.

The oversized master bedroom features vaulted ceilings and skylights that fill the room with sunshine. Sliding glass doors from Andersen open to the backyard for indoor/outdoor living. The windows and doors keep the home energy efficient. There is a large walk-in closet and a bright, updated bathroom that features a glass-enclosed shower, a deep soaking tub, and dual vanities. The main house also has three additional good-sized bedrooms and two updated bathrooms.

The backyard features a large lawn with many fruit trees, a garden, a slate-paved patio area, a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen area, and a fire pit. The one-bedroom granny flat was constructed in 2017 and designed with an upbeat, vintage vibe to match the main house. Painted the same shade of sea foam, it would be perfect as a short-term rental unit or a guest/in-law suite. The flat opens to a bright, spacious great room with an exposed beam ceiling. The kitchen has a retro refrigerator, a refurbished farm sink, a gas oven and stovetop, and a convenient breakfast bar. The beautiful bath boasts luxury finishes and an antique vanity. There is central heating and air conditioning, Andersen doors and Milgard windows, and modern, sealed-cement flooring.

Also located in the backyard is the barn, originally built in 1904 as part of the Buck Family Estate. With a classic red sliding barn door, the large space is equipped with both electricity and water, so it holds many possibilities for further development (approximately 3,000 sqft). There is currently a workshop and a slabbed utility space. The alley behind the property provides access to the barn, so it can be used as a garage and for vehicle storage.

According to the property’s appraiser, recent sales on Buck Avenue in the historic district have ranged from $1.7 million to $700,000, making this unique compound even more of a special find.

The property at 113 Buck Ave., Vacaville, CA, is now being listed for $925,000. There will be an open house this Sunday, March 17th from 12-2pm.
