Featured in Evansville Living, this 1926 Spanish Mission home brings a rare touch of Southern California to one of Evansville's most established boulevards. A red clay tile parapet, arched multi-pane front door, and open-air front terrace give way to 1,537 square feet of light-filled single-story living. Curved 10-foot ceilings run throughout. The living room has original hardwood floors, a restored fireplace, and arched windows. Original double French doors open to a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tree-lined median of Saint James Boulevard. An arched breakfast nook and a tiled den/office offer multiple gathering spaces, while original details like a telephone niche add charm. The 2026 kitchen has custom full-inset cabinetry, granite counters, a KitchenAid refrigerator and range, a cabinet-integrated Bosch dishwasher, a vent hood, and a checkerboard tile floor. The bath was renovated to the studs in 2026, with a 1920s tile palette and a marble vanity top. The major work is done. That includes HVAC replaced in 2020, roofs replaced in 2021 and 2023, windows replaced in 2019, updated plumbing and electrical, restored stucco and tuck-pointing, fresh exterior paint, and a new driveway. A 1,153-square-foot basement adds storage, craft, play or workshop space. The backyard borders historic estates, including one on 7 acres, for a rare sense of privacy in the city. A century-old house, ready for its next hundred years.
