About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome to your idyllic creekside retreat in this rare updated Craftsman-style cottage. Nestled on almost an acre of verdant green lawns and featuring a seasonal creek, this two-bedroom, two-bath hideaway invites you to relax and unwind in a peaceful natural setting. A majestic oak tree rises seemingly from a boulder, perfectly overlooking the creek and framing the house. As you meander up the charming stone path, you'll be greeted by the tranquil beauty surrounding you. The spacious primary suite opens to a sun-dappled room that can be used as a nursery or additional bedroom. Indulge in a luxurious soak in the spa-like ensuite bathroom or unwind in your private sauna, making relaxation a priority. The second bedroom flows into a bright, sky-lit family room, complete with a wraparound deck for outdoor enjoyment. In the cozy den, snuggle up before the warming stove to complete the rustic cabin feel. The generous kitchen leads out to a front dining deck, perfect for dining al fresco, with French doors that open to let in the fresh air. Meander through the lush garden pathways to the dining pergola, set creekside, offering a serene spot to enjoy your meals or simply take in the beauty of the landscape. The separate studio structure provides endless possibilities for a home office, art studio, or guest space. With plenty of parking available on this uniquely flat 1-acre lot, this property is a rare find. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a place to call home, this creekside sanctuary is the perfect place to begin your next chapter.
