About this home
Step into a piece of Mason history with this distinctive two-story Victorian-style home, ideally located just two blocks from the Mason Square. Built in 1910 by Jim Brown, a popular Mason barber, the home was purchased in 1912 by rancher Ed Smith, who enlarged it in 1913. Adding to its story, Lindsay Brown, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1930s, was born in this home. Situated on more than 1.5 acres within the Mason city limits, the property is zoned for both commercial and residential use, offering an uncommon combination of history, space, location, and versatility. The home features six bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the primary suite conveniently located on the first floor. Beautiful hardwood floors preserve much of the home's original character, while the spacious two-story floor plan provides room for family, guests, offices, or creative workspace. One of its most memorable features is the upstairs back porch with a direct view toward historic Fort Mason. Outside, several outbuildings provide additional storage and possibilities, including one with a cellar. The expansive 1.5+ acre setting offers ample room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, additional improvements, or parking. With commercial and residential zoning and a location just two blocks from the heart of downtown Mason, the possibilities are numerous. The property could continue as a grand historic residence or potentially lend itself to a bed and breakfast, professional office, boutique retail space, event venue, or other commercial venture, subject to applicable city requirements. More than a home, 505 Ft. McKavitt is a piece of Mason's story. With roots dating to 1910, a connection to professional baseball history, six bedrooms, over 1.5 acres, views toward Fort Mason, and an exceptional location near the Mason Square, this is a property with a past worth preserving—and a future full of possibilities....
