This is a very secluded property yet is located close to the main drag of downtown Mariposa. Sitting on nearly 9 acres of land, this home has a drive through lot with 3 separate driveways leading to the house. One of the first things you will notice is the full length, covered porches on both sides of the house. There are lots of windows, and for a good reason. Every window has a view of the heavily treed lot and the beautiful surroundings. There is great potential for this to be income property considering the nearby Yosemite National Park. Enjoy hours of comfort in the large family room with a wood burning fire place. The living area and bedrooms have been upgraded with new carpet. The kitchen has new flooring, a new dishwasher, as well as a new sink and faucet. Enjoy meals in the separate dining room just off of the kitchen. The master bedroom features a large walk-in closet. One of the full bathrooms has new flooring, a new toilet, a new countertop, as well as a new sink and faucet. The second full bathroom has a new toilet and faucet with tile floors and a tile shower. There is a large separate room for the laundry with full hook-ups. The workshop/garage is detached but is joined to the main house by a covered carport large enough for for 2 vehicles. The property recently appraised at above asking price by an appraiser assigned by the Mariposa County Court.
