Legend says this historic home was purchased in San Francisco with gold nuggets, then brought across the Bay on a barge. The actual story is better. The home has been meticulously and tenderly restored. The original character and unique architectural features have been preserved, and where necessary, re-created. The plumbing and electrical systems have been upgraded. The foundation and framing have been repaired. The home is pinterest cute. It is listed in the National Registry and is located in the St Vincent's Historic District, where similar historic homes surround it. You can hang out on one of the three porches or spend your days in the large sunny backyard. Moschetti Cafe is just over a block away. The Saturday Farmer's Market and Waterfront are 5 blocks away, The ferry is 8. The home was in the Edward Phillips Family for over 100 years. Granddaughter Katherine Quartero said, "the back of the house is the original home, the front was a separate house which was purchased with gold nuggets in San Francisco by my Grandpa Edward, who brought to Vallejo by barge". A more extensive history of the home is available. Own a piece of American History! I think you will agree. This home is better than a bag of gold nuggets-
