A rare opportunity in the heart of Templeton. Built in 1900 and held by the same family since the 1940s, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers historic character, an oversized 16,000-square-foot lot, and exceptional utility just minutes from downtown Templeton. The standout feature is the detached 30-by-30-foot shop with a half bathroom, providing approximately 900 square feet of versatile space for vehicles, equipment, storage, hobbies, or a home-based business. Mature trees, generous outdoor space, and ample room for parking further distinguish the property from the typical in-town home. The approximately 984-square-foot residence retains much of its original character and is ready for a new owner with the vision to restore, renovate, or reimagine it. Recent improvements include a roof replaced approximately 10 years ago, exterior paint completed around two years ago, and a 40-gallon natural gas water heater installed in 2023. The property is being offered as-is and priced to reflect its current condition. For buyers searching for a Templeton property with land, workspace, history, and long-term potential, 611 Salinas Avenue is an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find.
