4 Beds | 2 Full Baths | 1 Half Baths | 2,010 SqFt | 0.2 Acres
A Legacy Home Thoughtfully Preserved for a New Generation. Some homes simply hold history. Built in 1938 by Nellie Bosworth Dormody a pioneering educator who shaped the cultural fabric of El Dorado County for decades, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence on Coloma Street is a rare piece of Placerville's living heritage. Nellie built this home as a widow during the Great Depression. Set on .2 acres just moments from the charm of Historic Downtown Placerville, the home has been carefully restored, not reinvented. Original hardwood floors have been lovingly refinished, the stone fireplace stands as it always has, and the arched ceilings in the primary suite speak to a craftsmanship rarely found today. A new roof, new HVAC system, and updated bathrooms with frameless glass showers and classic farmhouse finishes ensure the home performs as beautifully as it presents. The generous four-bedroom floor plan offers exceptional flexibility, whether for a growing family, multi-generational living, or dedicated home offices. Dedicated deeded parking space, a private backyard with stone retaining walls and mature landscaping, and an iconic stone chimney that anchors the exterior complete the picture. To own this home is to become part of a story more than a century in the making.
