Travel back in time with this beautifully preserved vintage gem nestled in historic Alta, CA. Situated on a 3/4 acre lot with a screened front porch, this charming home features distressed tile flooring in the kitchen, cozy breakfast nook, and functional mudroom/laundry area. The thoughtfully redesigned staircase leads to an attic-style spacious master retreat complete with its own full bath. The kitchen is a dream for vintage enthusiasts, showcasing an original 1930s sink with drainboards and a classic Wolf range. Enjoy year-round comfort with mini split heating and cooling in all bedrooms and the living room, and a newer tankless hot water heater. The natural stone wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the living space, perfect for cozy mountain evenings. The property is adorned with many native dogwoods, a perennial garden, seasonal creek, stone walls, newly refinished metal roof, detached garage/workshop with 220V power, and an outdoor fire pit. A detached deck with wired electricity is perfectly positioned and prepped for a hot tub. The level area between the house and the creek make an additional granny flat very feasible! Located just minutes from I-80 and 30-minutes to the ski slopes, this home is ideal as a peaceful weekend retreat or a full-time residence.
