Description

The Grove House is more than a home, it’s a story, written in citrus groves, hand-laid beams, and historic fireplaces, now retold with modern elegance and comfort. Originally built in 1936 as the centerpiece of Eagle Grove, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom estate (including a detached ADU) spans nearly half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, offering a lifestyle that is both rooted in history and designed for today. The main residence features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including two primary suites with walk-in closets and spa-inspired en-suites. Historic character flows through every detail with original wood beams, graceful arches, and refinished hardwood flooring, seamlessly balanced by thoughtful upgrades like Marvin windows, artisan tile, and a chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances. A versatile loft adds bonus space, perfect for an office, media room, or playroom. Tucked below, a rare California basement with a cool, naturally regulated climate offers additional storage and a charming glimpse into the home’s original design. The detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU, built in the 1950s, offers its own kitchen, living room, HVAC system, and separate meter, ideal for multi-generational living, guest privacy, or rental income. Outdoors, the estate reveals its soul with a seamless blend of historic charm and resort-style living. The extra-large, flat, and fully usable lot is designed for both beauty and function, with three distinct entertaining areas to suit every occasion. Gather around the original 1930s courtyard fireplace, dine beneath the canopy of a mature fig tree, cool off in the sparkling pool, lounge beneath the pergola, or pick fruit from your private orchard of oranges, apricots, peaches, avocados, and more. With expansive RV and boat parking, an oversized three-car garage with a historic darkroom, and abundant storage, the property blends beauty with everyday practicality. Every inch has been meticulously renovated to preserve its historic soul while offering modern convenience.
