View of roof c. 2011

3,239 square foot Mission-inspired fish scaled Victorian built around 1900. A permit search revealed a $20K bathroom remodel in 1995, that's it. Last sold for $53K in 1975. This property generates property taxes in the amount of $906.57 per year.

That is not a false front. Although as I look at the side view, I wonder if it was originally a false front Victorian and the gabled roof was a long ago renovation. That would explain why there are no recent permits on file. Has my mind rum amok?
