Some homes are built. Others become part of history. Welcome to this extraordinary 1910 Craftsman bungalow—an architectural treasure that has gracefully stood the test of time, beautifully preserving the craftsmanship, charm, and character of early California living. Distinguished by its striking double-gable roofline and timeless design, this rare residence has been recognized by the Historical Society and proudly carries its historic designation. Formerly known as the Otts Ranch House, this remarkable property was once the centerpiece of a thriving 10-acre orange grove established in 1910, offering an authentic connection to Hemet’s rich agricultural heritage.

Throughout the home, original woodwork, period millwork, vintage details, and exceptional craftsmanship serve as lasting reminders of an era when homes were built to endure for generations. The thoughtfully updated kitchen blends historic charm with modern convenience, featuring contemporary appliances and functionality while preserving the home’s authentic architectural integrity. The residence offers two spacious bedrooms, one full bathroom, a powder room, and an additional flex space ideal as a home office, nursery, or cozy guest room.

Mature fruit trees line the property, offering seasonal harvests and enhancing the peaceful, garden-like setting.
