End of the road privacy compliments this beautiful country property, nestled amongst a small and wonderful community of homes. A private driveway will welcome you to over 3 acres of well loved land featuring a sunny garden, fruit trees, a green house, a picturesque bridge, majestic Redwood trees, a seasonal babbling brook, along with abundant nature, bird song and peace. Inside you'll find a spacious kitchen with stone countertops, opening up to the living room, complete with a cozy fireplace and a breakfast/dining bar. This is a versatile floor plan consisting of 2 bedrooms, a living room and family room. The family room could be converted to a 3rd bedroom. In the back, a spacious deck precedes a detached bonus room (not included in the square footage) to use as a home office or whatever you choose. The ample 3 car garage, with attic, allows space for car enthusiasts, a workshop or even an exercise area. There is plenty of room to explore, farm and play. In addition, this quiet and idyllic setting is within walking distance to hiking trails, and just minutes to Henry Cowell State Park and downtown Felton, which offers Farmer's markets, shops, music venues, and delicious eateries. This is a unique opportunity, as properties like this, at this price, do not come up often.
