Tucked away on Marguerite is a multi-family complex that went up during the post-WW2 housing boom and has managed to maintain its vintage charm and original details for over 70 years. The complex at 610-614 Marguerite built for former owners Albert & Vera Hutchins in March 1948 has (6) 2BR, 1 BA units situated on 1 ½ lots. You could have walked past this community dozens of times and not noticed it as it is set behind a large hedge and gate that creates a nice private setting for its residents in the literal center of CdM. When you enter, there is an orange tree in the center of the complex and duplexes on either side. In the back there are units above the garages. Inside and out, it is impressive that the units are able to be so well maintained while retaining the great original details and character. They all feature beautiful, original hardwood floors, original mouldings, and tons of vintage charm.

I have always loved the Wishingwell property which is on three lots. If you look on Google earth you can see that the property lines up with three properties across the alley. My house at 707 Marguerite is on 1 1/2 lots for comparison. I love looking through everything here on this website. Thank you.
