Historic Craftsman and Victorian Homes

In the heart of downtown Santa Paula, many homes date back to the early 1900s, featuring ornate detailing, covered porches and mature gardens. These properties attract buyers who appreciate architecture with character and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
