Recent improvements include updated electrical, plumbing, and fresh interior and exterior paint, blending modern conveniences with historic charm. Featuring two kitchens, three fireplaces, multiple living areas. This home offers exceptional character and versatility, whether accommodating multiple generations, creating a unique Airbnb experience, or exploring the potential for a charming bed and breakfast.

Rich in character, history, and opportunity, this is more than just a home. It’s a chance to become part of Merced’s history.
Midtown, located between Downtown Merced and UC Merced, is a residential and civic Merced neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a grid of mid-century streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around M Street near Main Street, where small storefronts, coffee counters, and local services set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward postwar ranch homes, compact bungalows, and low-slung apartment courts. Merced County Courthouse Museum and the Merced Multicultural Arts Center add a cultural throughline close to the core. Applegate Park and the Merced County Fairgrounds frame the area with open lawns, event grounds, and seasonal activity.

The Dallas House, said to be one of the most distinctive and attractive homes in Merced, is a spectacular turn-of-the-century Victorian, spanning over 3500 square feet, 6 full bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, original gabled roof, an impressive colonnade, hardwood floors, trayed ceilings, built-ins, multiple fireplaces, clawfoot tub and period touches. Once the home of one of Merced's first Fire Chief's, on site is one of the few remaining examples of a barn or carriage house within the Merced city limits, the site of many barn dances in the first decades of the 201th Century. Situated on three full lots on a tree lined street in Downtown, it would be an ideal family home or could be transformed into a charming B&B with access for visitors from the nearby Santa Fe Train Station. There is an attached apartment for additional income or for use as an In-Law Suite and an additional outbuilding, porches, basement. Ready to be restored to its original glory!
