Whoa! Finally! Downtown Felton but private road access creates this oasis in the mountains. Want to be close in but feel far out? This 4 bedroom 2 and a half bath 1800 sq foot home has room for everyone. Needs some updating. Totally solid bones to create the sanctuary you dreamed of at an affordable price. Walk to SLV High or to town. Close to Henry Cowell and Fall Creek State parks!
