This is a charming restored historic 2 bedroom 1.5 bath cottage; sits on a huge 1.5 acre lot right in the heart of Arcata. Just three blocks to Cal Poly, five blocks to downtown (walking distance to coffee, farmers market, ice cream, groceries), and five blocks to Redwood Park. Easy access to Hwy 101 -- just a 10 minute commute to Eureka or to nearby beaches and parks. You'll find an incredible yard that backs up to a creek; big yard and firepit to enjoy. Totally remodeled in 2022, this home has refinished hardwood floors, beautiful tile work, and an intact historic kitchen with the original cabinetry and new high end fixtures. There's lots of natural lighting, a back deck, off street parking, and a wonderful front porch where you can sip your coffee. It also has a basement for storage. Comes fully furnished and includes kitchen essentials. This is really a unique rental in an historic house. No smoking. Pets negotiable with refundable pet deposit. Off street parking and access to unfinished basement. Lease month by month, and we prefer 1 year in length. Tenant pays for utilities (PG&E, WiFi). Smart TV is cable ready, tenant pays for cable or streaming services if wanted. Cleaning fee of $250 taken from deposit at the end.
