It's on the market, listed at $3 million. I think it's pretty great, personally. I particularly love the arched doors and windows and the ceilings. They don't show the kitchen at all, so presumably that needs to be completely redone. The bathrooms probably need work too but I love that patterned tile in the primary bath - I'd retain that if possible. I hope whoever buys it honors the character of the house and updates what needs it but keeps the vibe.

That is stunning. Love the windows and doorways too. I hope whoever gets it keeps it as original as possible as well. The wet bar is gorgeous.

There are restrictions that come with that designation on what can and cannot be done to the building. Lot of red tape to go through to remodel. It is a beautiful house. |

If I bought that I'd be going for restoration, not renovation or remodel. The wood, the doors, windows, and ceilings are great. That wet bar was gorgeous and I love the bathroom. $20 says if they showed the kitchen & butler's pantry I would have liked them as well, and would likely try for as few updates as possible. It seems to still have a lot of original and/or older elements, and I would love to celebrate those.  |

It definitely has potential and to actually own Bob Barker's house.. how cool would that be? Although I would be a little sad that there isn't a little bit of the Price is Right memorabilia in the house. Part of an old game or one of the numbers from the wheel.. lol

I love that living room! I'd just keep it empty except for some chairs around the perimeter and use it as a dance hall!

Seeing as how my parent's house in San Jose in valued at 2.2 million, this seems like a steal and will probably sell for much higher.
It really is a gorgeous house and I'd probably keep it the same, maybe update appliances.

The article says the house needs upgrades and renovations. The new owner will have to go through committees to get approvals for work on the house. Can be expensive and time consuming. I would be hesitant to buy a historic landmark. |

I love it. Such a California vibe.
Also, “Ugh, I hate that BOB BARKER.”
