Eureka, CA
Welcome to The Sunflower House — a classic Victorian with genuine character, sitting on a half-acre between Eureka and Arcata in the highly regarded Freshwater School District.
At approximately 3,500 square feet, this home offers remarkable space and flexibility across two stories. Hardwood floors run throughout the light-filled living and dining room, anchored by an energy-efficient wood-burning stove with electric start and fan — perfect for Humboldt's cozy winter evenings. The stainless steel commercial-type kitchen is a standout feature, complete with an upgraded double drawer dishwasher. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a large family room with vaulted ceilings offer flexible living, along with a full bath featuring a charming claw foot tub. Downstairs, two additional front rooms can serve as 5th and 6th bedrooms or flex space, plus a fully remodeled full bath, laundry room, and 1-car garage with loft. The bones are solid and the potential is real — bring your vision.
Step outside and the possibilities expand. The fully fenced half-acre yard is set up for the self-sufficient lifestyle: a private well with a newly upgraded pump house featuring a new pump, ozone and UV filtration system, and holding tank; a private septic system; and owned solar panels already installed on the roof with future battery-backup potential. A 20-foot covered hoop tunnel garden house with raised beds, a productive orchard of apple and pear trees, abundant blackberry borders, and a maple tree previously tapped for syrup round out the edible landscape. There's space for chickens, small livestock, and more.
Evenings here are something special — a resident murder of crows in the trees, the occasional hoot of a Great Horned Owl, and a chorus of frogs on quiet spring nights. Fully fenced, privately situated, and brimming with potential.
A rare opportunity for self-sufficient living with Victorian soul.
