239 W 7th Street

Set on a rare double lot in Perris, the 1932 Mabel Merritt House offers a distinctive blend of historic Victorian character, everyday comfort, and exceptional flexibility. With two legal parcels and R-3 zoning, this active offering presents an unusual opportunity for those who value charm as much as future potential. The home’s preserved architectural presence, generous yard space, and inviting atmosphere help it stand out from more typical properties.

Inside, the residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and approximately 1,656 square feet of living space across two levels. Original character is complemented by details such as coved ceilings, period moldings, chair rail accents, and crown molding, while a newer HVAC system supports year-round comfort. An enclosed sunroom adds a bright bonus space suited for reading, work, or quiet relaxation, and two bedrooms plus one bath are located on the main level for added convenience.

Outside, the roughly 13,938-square-foot property includes a private in-ground pool, in-ground spa, gazebo, front and rear porch areas, landscaped yard space, alley access, and an oversized 2-car garage. Rear parking and room for RVs, trailers, or work trucks add utility, while the additional parcel creates expansion possibilities for future residential use, subject to city verification.
