27440 Dartmouth Hemet CA 92544 MLS #SW26140903

Built in 1910, this Craftsman bungalow has been maintained with care for more than a century while retaining the architectural details that define its character. Recognized by the Historical Society and designated as a historic home, the property reflects its place in Hemet’s history along with improvements that have helped preserve it over time. The roof, HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, windows, and kitchen have all been updated with respect for the home’s original design.

Originally known as the Otts Ranch House, the property was once the center of a 10-acre orange grove established in 1910, reflecting Hemet’s agricultural roots. A white picket fence leads to the covered front porch, creating a welcoming entrance to the home.

Inside, the parlor opens to the formal dining room, where the original fireplace remains a focal point. Original woodwork, period millwork, and other historic details remain throughout, reflecting the quality of early twentieth-century craftsmanship.

The remodeled kitchen provides improved function while remaining consistent with the home’s historic style. The floor plan includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, one powder room, and an additional room that may be used as an office, nursery, or other flexible space.

A detached garage provides parking and storage, while mature fruit trees continue the property’s connection to its agricultural past.

This is not a cookie-cutter home. It is a residence with soul, story, and legacy—carefully preserved for over a century and thoughtfully updated where it matters most, ready for its next steward to continue its remarkable history.
