About this home

A remarkable piece of Santa Ana history, thoughtfully preserved and reimagined for modern living. Built in 1905 by William L. Duggan, the historic Duggan House is a distinguished Victorian landmark in the French Park Historic District, featuring its signature turret, conical roof, and timeless architectural craftsmanship. An approved Mills Act Historic Property Contract offers significant potential property tax savings, subject to its terms. Offering 2,440 square feet on an expansive 10,454-square-foot lot, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence has undergone extensive restoration and modernization while preserving its original character. A newly created primary suite features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, maintaining all four upstairs bedrooms. The expanded, fully remodeled kitchen showcases custom cabinetry matching the original millwork, new countertops, backsplash, breakfast peninsula, oversized sink, water purification system, and vintage-inspired mint-green appliances. Two additional remodeled bathrooms feature restored clawfoot tubs, classic vanities, and period-inspired tile. Original wood double-hung windows have been meticulously restored, complemented by authentic vintage Holophane brass and prismatic glass lighting, Victorian-style hardware, and oak flooring carefully matched to the originals. The formal dining room features the home’s original converted gas chandelier, while the inviting living room and charming parlor with an electric fireplace offer elegant gathering spaces. Major improvements include a new Owens Corning Duration Cool Roof on the home and detached garage, an 8.40 kW solar system with 20 panels and Tesla Powerwall 3, upgraded HVAC with HEPA filtration, whole-house fan, underfloor insulation, water filtration, structural steel reinforcement, and updated security systems. Landscaping, irrigation, brick paving, fencing, and an automatic driveway gate further enhance the property. Mature trees, beautifully landscaped grounds, front and rear porches, a deck, fenced yard, and detached two-car garage complete the setting. Relocated in 1987 and reconstructed in 1989, the home benefits from a poured-concrete foundation, anchored stem walls, and updated major systems. Ideally situated along French Park’s tree-lined streets, minutes from Downtown Santa Ana’s acclaimed dining, galleries, and entertainment, the Duggan House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with the comforts of modern living.
