About This Home
As of August 2025Affectionately known as The Birdhouse, this enchanting, storybook 1940s cottage brims with vintage charm from classic wainscoting, built-ins, to open-beam ceilings and stained glass. Set on over half an acre of level land along Salmon Creek, the property enjoys a perfect mix of sunshine and shade from the majestic redwoods. With 2-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms, this is a place for rest and relaxation. Soak in the clawfoot tub, take in the stars in your private hot tub, or dip your toes in the gentle waters of Salmon Creek just steps away. Thoughtful upgrades, including Schoolhouse Electric lighting and a Fireclay tile hearth, blend effortlessly with the cottage's timeless character. Located one mile from downtown Occidental and Harmony School and just over an hour from the Golden Gate Bridge, this romantic hideaway feels a world away, while maintaining access to every day conveniences.
