115 E Magnolia | Monte Vista

Cozy living room with a brown sofa, blue chair, fireplace, and decorative rug. Lamp and bookshelves on the side; plants add greenery.

There’s a certain kind of hush that falls over Monte Vista in the early morning — when the oaks still drip with dew and the sunlight drifts softly across century-old porches. It’s in this quiet that 115 E Magnolia seems most alive.


Built in the late 1800s and carried, beam by beam, to its resting place on this tree-lined street more than a century ago, this home has the kind of presence that makes you pause. Every board, every pane of glass, tells you this house has been loved and cared for by those who understood its worth.


Cozy living room with round wooden table, four chairs, potted plant, soft curtains, and warm lighting. Lounge area visible through archway.

Inside, the rhythm slows. Ten-foot ceilings stretch above polished hardwood floors. A grand staircase rises confidently in the foyer, the kind that’s heard footsteps across generations. The dining room glows with the soft sheen of wainscoting and pocket doors — a space meant for long conversations and candlelight.


Cozy kitchen with terracotta tiles, white cabinets, rolling pin on marble top, cookbook, warm lamp, and view of trees through large windows.

The kitchen feels like the heartbeat of the home. Thoughtfully updated yet true to its spirit, it invites you to linger — coffee brewing, morning light spilling across the counters, the kind of warmth that makes you want to stay a while.






Cozy room with a yellow chair, painting on an easel, wooden stool, and window with blinds. Soft lighting creates a calm atmosphere.

Upstairs, bedrooms unfold like chapters — each one a memory waiting to be written. You can almost imagine the stories whispered through the plaster walls, the quiet laughter that still feels suspended in the air. Even after a century of change and modern comforts, the home’s character has remained untouched, as if time itself decided to preserve it.


Listing agent Gina Candelario describes 115 E Magnolia simply: “This home has a soul.” And she’s right. Gina has a gift for finding homes that speak not in statistics or square footage, but in feeling.


She notices the things that matter: the curve of the banister, the screened-in porch that catches the breeze, the craftsmanship that connects past and present.


Cozy bedroom with blue walls, wooden floors, and white bedding. Windows overlook greenery. A chandelier and armchair add elegance.

For Gina, homes like this are more than listings they’re legacies. And for the right buyer, this one will be both a beginning and a continuation. Because in Monte Vista, where stories and architecture intertwine, history doesn’t just live here.


It welcomes you home.
