About This Home

As of August 2019

Diamond in the rough! Great Arcata location for this 3 bed, 1.5 bath home with fireplace in living room, wood floors, patio area, 2 car attached garage, and completely fenced and landscaped yard on a corner lot with lots of room to garden. Home is on a septic system and has been recently inspected and pumped. Needs some TLC, but could easily be a charmer and has good investment potential.
Seller prefers ''as-is'' sale. Conveniently located near hospital, Valley West Shopping Center and just minutes from Humboldt State University and McKinleyville.
