2968 coloma street

Just minutes from Historic Main Street, this home was built in 1938 by Nellie Bosworth Dormody, a pioneering El Dorado County educator, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath legacy home blends original character with meaningful modern updates. Set on .2 acres near the walking bridge into downtown Placerville, the home offers the charm of a historic residence with the comfort buyers want today, including a new roof, new HVAC system, updated bathrooms, and refinished original hardwood floors. Inside, the stone fireplace, arched ceilings in the primary suite, and preserved architectural details reflect a level of craftsmanship rarely found in newer homes. The generous four-bedroom floor plan provides flexibility for growing households, multi-generational living, guest space, or dedicated home offices. Outside, enjoy a private backyard with stone retaining walls, mature landscaping, an iconic stone chimney, and a dedicated deeded parking space. Carefully restored, not reinvented, this Coloma Street residence offers history, character, walkability, and everyday function in one of Placerville's most beloved settings. To own this home is to become part of a story more than a century in the making.
