Wonderful cabin, nestled on flat area of a nearly 1/2 acre lot in Mount Hermon Park. This is a rare opportunity as this "charmer" has been in the same loving family for over 100 years!! Located among the Coastal Redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, this area is a destination for thousands of people throughout the year. Overall mild temperatures and only 8 miles to the majestic Monterey Bay/Pacific Ocean, and about 20 miles from Los Gatos, entrance into "Silicon Valley". . Stunning Clear-Heart Redwood construction of this 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 854 sq. ft. cabin with beamed ceilings, is truly unique and beautiful. Large living area and deck welcomes friends and family entertainment. Resident occupants have an option for Summer Pool and Boating privileges for a reasonable fee. Mount Hermon is NOT an HOA, however, the current $400 annual fee is for maintaining the private roads, trails, and bridges in the park. So much to enjoy, and take advantage of, right in your own "back yard"!
