Palmtag Muzzio Bowen Mansion


Valentines day may have come and gone, but here at SF Victorian Times, we are going to preserve the Valentine's-vibe by featuring the lovely Palmtag Muzzio Bowen Mansion - a (very romantic) 19th century Italianate Victorian manse in Santa Cruz, CA. The estate in general is perfection: every room is decadent, rich, and colorful - yet entirely personable and unique. The property (literally) looks torn from the pages of Living Magazine. 

Okay, so now I am going to stop typing - I am just not a good enough writer to give this house half of the written appreciation it deserves - I'll just let the pictures do the rest of the talking...

(BUT before the good stuff) Here are the facts:
LOCATION: On a bluff above the ocean near Santa Cruz (with views all the way down to Monterey Bay)
PRICE: $3,450,000
BORN: 1873
- 4  acres of organic farmland and lawns
- 13 ft ceilings, carriage house, wainscoting, crown moldings, box beam ceilings, stunning light fixtures, radiant heating, 9' tall windows and views from EVERY room, antique fireplaces, 1915 Glenwood gas stove, gourment kitchen appliances








Built four years after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869:
