An extraordinary Central Davis opportunity, offered for the first time since it was built in 1958. Lovingly held by the original Davis family, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath California ranch style home sits on a remarkable 12,000+ sq. ft. lot representing an increasingly rare canvas near UC Davis and downtown. The home has been carefully preserved in pristine original condition, with timeless character and the chance to make it distinctly your own. Meaningful improvements are already in place, including a newer roof, HVAC, and water heaters. This home defines good bones. The expansive grounds invite big dreams: a resort-like backyard, gardens, pool, play space, expansion, or the potential for an additional unit, subject to City approval. This is more than a house, it is a truly special Central Davis setting with room to imagine, create, and stay for generations. Rarely does a property with this much land, history, and possibility come available.

Central Davis, located between UC Davis and the Davis Amtrak station, is a walkable and bike-forward Davis neighborhood with a compact downtown grid and leafy residential blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 2nd Street and G Street, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. Architectural cues range from early-20th-century cottages to mid-century ranch homes, stitched together by mature street trees and alleyways. The Davis Farmers Market at Central Park sets a weekly rhythm of produce stands and local makers. The Varsity Theatre and the Mondavi Center anchor the cultural calendar, while Mishka’s Café adds a familiar coffee counter for lingering.
