Property Description
Welcome to the Stevens/Polhemus Residence Old Town Elk Grove History Meets Modern Comfort Located at 9616 Walnut Ave in the Old Town Elk Grove Special Planning Area (SPA-OT), this remarkable home is officially designated Historic Resource #46 on the City of Elk Grove Register of Historic Resources and stands as a contributing property to the National Register-listed Elk Grove Historic District. Believed to have been built in the late 19th to early 20th century, as the town center grew alongside the arrival of the railroad, this residence reflects the architectural character of Elk Grove's earliest agricultural and professional-class families. The home's name honors two families tied to the area's early development: the Stevens family, linked to Sacramento's early commercial and agricultural growth, and the Polhemus family, whose legacy lives on just down the road at nearby Polhemus Drive. Step inside to soaring, approximately 12-foot coved ceilings and the original stained-glass address window above the front door a beautiful, one-of-a-kind detail original to the home. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence pairs historic charm with useful updates: the kitchen was remodeled in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and the second bathroom was added later as part of a home addition. Beneath the historic exterior, major systems have been thoughtfully modernized, including updated HVAC with all-new ductwork, new electrical, and new plumbing throughout. A small basement with sump pump offers space rarely found in a home of this era. Set on a spacious 0.27-acre lot with alley access, the property also includes two sheds for hobby, garden, or storage use. As a designated historic resource, the home's exterior footprint and craftsmanship are protected offering long-term character and curb appeal that can't be replicated. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Elk Grove's history. Schedule your private showing today!
