Lilac Victorian Downstairs-Spacious Water-View Apartment in Historic Old Town

Praised for its spacious layout and Victorian charm, this downstairs apartment blends historic character with modern comfort.


Nestled in historic Old Town, this home is only a short stroll from boutique shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The bay is just a block away, and the famous Carson Mansion—one of the most photographed Victorian homes in the world—is right around the corner. For day trips, you’re about 10 miles from Arcata and Cal Poly Humboldt, 20 miles from the Victorian village of Ferndale, and 47 miles from Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, home to majestic redwood forests.

Old Town Eureka offers plenty to explore within walking distance, including museums, local art galleries, unique shops, and great restaurants, as well as historic landmarks like the Clarke Historical Museum and the beautifully restored Eagle House—and just one block away, you can enjoy a lovely happy hour at the elegant Carter House Inn.

The area is also a perfect base for exploring the majestic Redwood National and State Parks, visiting scenic North Coast beaches, and enjoying seasonal whale watching, with gray whales typically migrating past the coast from December through April and again October through November.

The region is also known for its vibrant community events, including local farmers markets and live music festivals such as the Redwood Coast Music Festival in Old Town, along with weekly farmers markets throughout the area offering fresh produce, local crafts, and live music.
