Mid Century Marvel with a cool retro feel designed by local architect in 1955 and owned by one family since that time. First time on the market! 5 bedroom home on almost half an acre in Arcata!!Located within a stones throw from HSU campus. Lots of glass in every room, looks out to beautiful lot- perfect for large garden or play area. According to City of Arcata, this property can be subdivided into three lots, OR five small homes could be built on this parcel, and that includes keeping this original house. Great buy for investor, or someone looking for family compound. Lots of original 50's touches preserved- Formica counters, linoleum flooring in two bedrooms, and original wood floors, even retro cooktop and oven!
