This cheerful home sits in a central neighborhood, with convenient and close access to Arcata's services, schools, and attractions. The floor plan is versatile with flex use spaces to support your lifestyle needs. A blend of original features and newer upgrades delivers a home with abundant character and charm while providing reassurances. The front yard makeover showcases cottage-style ornamental landscape beds with native and wildlife friendly plantings. The covered entry porch with slate tile and a custom front door creates a welcoming arrival. Hardwood floors and a fireplace with a wood stove insert add soul, the vintage farm sink and kitchen tile add nostalgia, the bedrooms have sizeable closets and are accessed from a central hallway hub that is separate from the main living space. An extra deep garage provides a laundry and bonus area and leads to the fenced back yard with lots of open sky and play or gardening area. A new roof installed in 2023, dual pane windows, plumbing and electrical updates, and recent painting add value.
