Own a piece of Auburn history! Set atop Linden Heights in one of Auburn's most established historic neighborhoods, the Francis Estate brings together two distinctive turn-of-the-century residences at 359 and 375 Linden Avenue. Together, the homes offer approx. 4,600 square feet of living space and a rare opportunity for true multi-gen living or extended family, guests, rental income, or a cool in-town family compound. 359 Linden has 5 bedrooms & 2 baths with approx. 2929 square feet. 375 Linden has 4 bedrooms & 2 baths with approx. 1696 square feet. Combined acreage is .34. Built in 1899, the stately Eastlake Victorian main residence is rich with period character: original hardwood floors and moldings, soaring ceilings, a grand staircase, generously sized bedrooms and spacious baths. The beauty of another era complemented by modern-day conveniences, including owned solar and battery backup. A charming carriage house adds even more versatility: an ideal home office, studio or potential ADU. Next door, the Craftsman bungalow, built by the Francis family in 1920, is different yet equally charming. The wrap-around porch sets the tone. Plus, spacious main-floor living areas, a screened porch/mudroom and three generous upstairs bedrooms create a home that feels comfortable and timeless. Surrounded by mature landscaping and lush grounds, the neighboring parcels have a wonderful, estate-like feel. Just steps to Downtown Auburn, restaurants, shopping and community events and world-class hiking and biking trails.
