Set against a backdrop of redwoods on a quiet street in Sunny Brae, this Arcata home offers warmth, character, and an exceptional location. Windows, skylights, and Solatubes fill the home with natural light, while two fireplaces and a wood stove add warmth and comfort. The primary suite is a retreat, featuring a fireplace, Japanese soaking tub, built-in bookshelves, and French doors. Flourishing jasmine, fruit trees, and garden beds create magic in the backyard. A detached two-car garage and outbuildings provide space for storage and versatility. Just two blocks from the Sunny Brae Forest Trailhead and minutes from Cal Poly Humboldt, the Plaza, parks, and shopping, this home feels both tucked away and connected to everything that makes Arcata special.
