Built in 1944, this charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage has curb appeal and much to offer. Hardwood floors through the living room, hallways and bedrooms. The kitchen counters were updated and there is a shaded deck through the french doors.The bathroom was updated. The garage is unique. It has lots of shelving, and a work/hobby loft that is accessible by stairs. Both sets of stairs can be moved to allow access through to the back yard. In the backyard there is a shop with a large storage closet and a carport. There is lighting in the carport and the shop. Behind the shop there is a washer and dryer. A white picket fence surrounds a garden area with a happy lemon tree and various plants- a generously sized garden. This vintage Bret Harte home sits in a quiet neighborhood where neighbors seem to actually know each other:)

Charming cottage with lots of potential. This home has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a cute backyard and additional workshop that could be converted into an ADU. It has real hardwood throughout and ample storage space.
