New development preserves 1920s home

The historic Mumm House built in 1924 has been preserved by SRC Development as part of the Bella Court housing project on South Dale Avenue. Three new four-bedroom homes were built around the Spanish-style building in a period look meant to blend in with the historic architecture, said Mike Evanisko, with the Anaheim Hills-based SRC Development. All four homes went on the market with a grand opening Saturday. SRC Development is asking $549,000 for the Mumm House, and the other larger homes are in the $679,000 to $699,000 range, Evanisko said. The developer entered into an agreement with the city to preserve the home in the future, so the new owners will have to keep the front of the property that can be seen by the public the same. In return, there is a property tax reduction.
