Welcome to this very sweet Paonia home, a lovingly restored Victorian Farmhouse on a roomy corner lot at the quiet end of 3rd Street. This house has long been part of local history: from its early days as a vast peach orchard, to becoming the heart of a thriving petunia farm, always providing sturdy shelter for family gatherings, neighborhood celebrations, and even weddings. Now fully renovated, it’s ready for its next chapter. The 2023 updates reinvigorated this home by adding 2 inches of insulation beneath new stucco, a metal roof, double-pane windows, mini-splits for heating and cooling, new oak floors, updated kitchen, new electric and plumbing, and all-new appliances. A high-quality wood stove (2025) adds cozy warmth to the large living room, where built-ins, a bay window, and natural light make it a respite of true comfort. The desirable layout includes a spacious main-level bedroom with an updated bath, a light-filled upstairs suite with soaking tub, and a third bedroom perfect for guests, crafts, or an office. Outside, the mature yard offers a welcoming mix of fruit trees, berries, grapevines, garden beds, and a joyful explosion of flowers from spring through fall. A irrigation share keeps everything growing with ease. Relax in shady nooks, enjoy morning coffee under the brush arbor, and make use of the charming “gingerbread” mini house, ideal for storage, a potting shed, or a creative hideaway. A garage/workshop with flexible bonus room adds even more space for projects or gear. The location is classic small-town convenience: a short stroll to Mountain Oven Bakery (you can smell the fresh bread on the right mornings), close to parks and trails, and only minutes from downtown cafés, shops, wineries, and community happenings. Full of charm, light, and local history, 1222 3rd Street is the kind of Paonia home folks dream of finding; warm, happy, and ready to embrace its next owners.
