LOVING LIFE ON THE RIVER There’s something timeless about this 1918 riverfront home in historic Dunsmuir — where the Upper Sacramento River flows just beyond the backyard and the train passes out front, adding its familiar rhythm to each day. Just steps from downtown’s charming shops and local eateries, this home was built for mornings on the porch with coffee in hand and evenings spent listening to the river’s song. Inside, light-filled rooms shine through dual-pane windows, while the original front windows preserve the home’s vintage charm. Wood floors, built-ins, a metal roof, A/C, newer appliances, and a standby generator add comfort and ease. The soothing sound of the river drifts through the home and across the spacious upper balcony, perfect for al-fresco dining with water views. The covered front porch offers a cozy place to watch the world (and occasional train) roll by. The yard is partially fenced with a lush, inviting lawn ideal for gardening or summer games. Detached older garage and basement workshop/storage. Whether you’re coming home for good, seeking a weekend fishing retreat, or dreaming of sharing it as a riverside vacation haven, do check out this lovely home.
