1903 Victorian
French Park
Santa Ana, California 92701
The Claycomb House

Located in the prestigious Historic French Park neighborhood, this iconic Victorian mansion once stood as a testament to the City’s founders and now represents a harmonious blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern living.
As you enter the home, you’re welcomed by a formal entry adorned with rich red oak wainscoting, custom stained glass, and an exquisite 1940s diamond-paned window. The hand screened Bradbury wallpaper ('St. James') gracefully complements the 10-foot ceilings, setting an elegant tone throughout.
The grand Douglas Fir staircase, passing a stunning original stained glass window, leads to the second floor, unveiling a spacious and open Victorian floor plan. Original and custom-milled restoration woodwork fills every corner, showcasing unparalleled craftsmanship.
Generously sized rooms, flooded with natural light from the large original windows, exude warmth and charm. The formal dining room is a true showstopper, illuminated by a magnificent crystal chandelier suspended from a custom-painted medallion, surrounded by a hand-painted frieze.
The twin parlours, separated by classic portieres, are highlighted by William Morris wallpaper and the 'picture frame' floors, a mix of original quarter-sawn oak and clear Douglas fir. Custom-milled picture railing throughout the home preserves the integrity of the original plaster walls.
The kitchen blends period charm with modern amenities. The original cabinetry, paired with Italian soapstone countertops and contemporary appliances, offers the perfect balance of vintage character and modern functionality. The original china cabinet blends seamlessly with newer custom cabinets and a built-in wine rack.
Adjacent is a large utility room featuring custom pull-out pantry shelves, washer/dryer, a quaint hidey-hole beneath the servant’s staircase, and direct access to the backyard and deck.
Upstairs, the home boasts four spacious bedrooms and a luxurious primary suite with a large glass-brick shower, Jacuzzi tub, and walk-in closet. The main bath, featuring a clawfoot tub and stunning Czechoslovakian cobalt blue tile, is complemented by delicate toile wallpaper and original woodwork and cabinetry.
Every bedroom is thoughtfully designed with large windows and ceiling fans for added comfort.
