About 609 S Helena Street
A century of character and craftsmanship come alive in The Fred and Ina Sweeney House, a beautifully-preserved Spanish Colonial Revival gem nestled in Anaheim’s beloved Colony Historic District. Recognized for its architectural significance, the home was awarded a coveted Mills Act contract - giving its owners substantially-reduced property taxes, and this contract and cost savings transfers to its next owners! From its signature Spanish tile roof and twin-gabled façade to the protected entry porch, every detail invites you to slow down and savor a bygone era. Step inside and you’ll find coved ceilings, original millwork, glass door knobs, and original wood floors—authentic 1920s design at its best. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flows into a dining area and through a double-swinging door to the vintage kitchen which features a cozy breakfast nook flooded with morning light. Outside, a generous two-car garage with alley access is complemented by an additional parking spot. But wait, there’s more! There’s also a studio guest house adjacent to the garage, with 3/4 bath, kitchenette, and French doors opening to a private patio—ideal for guests, a creative workspace, or supplemental income. All of this sits within walking distance of the Anaheim Packing House, Center Street Promenade, and just 1.3 miles from Disneyland.
