Loads of vintage charm and period details in this Post-war cabin appeal to old house lovers. Pine floors and forest views throughout the house add to the rustic charm. Stone chimney and fireplace, knotty pine walls and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves make for a cozy living room wonderful for entertaining or for reading by the fire. The porch, up one flight of stairs, is large enough for entertaining outdoors and high enough to feel like a tree house. Original pine-framed French six-light windows throughout open to forest views. A wood staircase surrounded by knotty pine walls leads to two bedrooms under the eaves. Original black light fixtures with cut out trefoils light the stairs. The kitchen, remodeled in 2007, features an antique hutch with leaded glass windows and the original O’Keefe & Merritt four-burner with a griddle in the middle gas stove with a built-in microwave above it. A one-car garage and an unfinished walk-in basement are on the first level. The second level, the main floor, includes a living room, eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms, a laundry room, a full bath and a half bath. The third floor has two bedrooms and a landing with a closet. Attic storage space is under the knee walls in both upstairs bedrooms. The house is wired for both satellite internet access and satellite tv. Small back porch leads to a fenced patio and a constructed stone block firepit in backyard. The fenced area outside the back door includes the back patio. Neighborhood Description This lovely forested neighborhood grew up around the street leading to a century-old PG&E powerhouse on the Little Bear River. People include all ages and stages, from new homeowners with children to retirees. A full moon has full impact here, due to lack of light pollution. Neighbors are friendly and helpful but give each other space. The forest provides privacy and trails give hikers plenty of places to go. Gold Rush-era irrigation ditches have wide, clear trails alongside and provide a wonderful place to walk. Commute trains or buses leave every half-hour mornings and return evenings from the Colfax train station to Sacramento. A bus leaves the Alta store at 8:15 a.m. and returns around 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday.
