Hidden from the street and rich with character, this charming 1920 cottage in Oroville offers privacy, space, and timeless appeal. Tucked away on a quiet flag lot, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features 1,228 sq ft of inviting living space that blends original charm with thoughtful updates for comfortable everyday living. A welcoming sun porch sets the tone as you enter, leading into a warm interior highlighted by tall ceilings, original flooring in select areas, and classic details that reflect the craftsmanship of the era. The layout feels both cozy and functional, flowing naturally for daily living or entertaining guests. The kitchen includes a gas stove and offers plenty of opportunity to personalize while preserving its vintage appeal. Newer central heating and air, installed around 2017, adds modern comfort to this classic home. What truly sets this property apart is the land. In addition to the .29-acre homesite, the sale includes three neighboring parcels, creating an impressive combined footprint of approximately .87 acres. This expansive space allows for RV or trailer parking, gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying extra room and privacy. The flag lot location keeps the home peacefully set back from the street, offering a quiet, secluded feel while still being close to town. If you’ve been searching for a property with charm, usable land, and privacy, this one checks all the boxes—a truly unique opportunity with room to grow, breathe, and make it your own.
