Walking in, you are met with a gallery that ushers you into the living and dining room, drawing you to the floor-to-ceiling windows that puts the view of the river and Mt. Lassen beyond, on display. Two doors on either side of the dining room allow for the cool river breeze to flow through the house on those warm summer nights and custom fans in each room assist with airflow. The beams throughout the home draw your eyes to the traditional high ceilings of the Mid-Century Modern architecture. . CB279 and clerestory windows above the gallery, while original custom cabinetry remains intact in the living room and kitchen. The whole home has been updated in the last two years but the kitchen has been preserved for the Mid-Century Modern Purist with the exception of new Terrazzo tile and a new sliding glass door being installed. Both bathrooms have been updated with custom tile in the showers, floors and backsplashes and new hickory flooring has been laid throughout. The master bedroom, kitchen and living/dining areas all open to a deep covered patio with a fan, allowing you to enjoy the view in the sun or the rain! With minimal maintenance both in the home and the drought-resistant landscaping, this home would allow you to take in the beauty and the draw of Red Bluff, while still allowing you the freedom to travel or rent out if wanted, and proximity to restaurants, Farmer's Markets, entertainment and the shops on the Historic Main Street, while still maintaining privacy, can't be beat.
