About This Home

As of October 2017

Charming farmhouse style home that has been lovingly maintained through the years. The main house is approximately 2,200 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and a basement with plenty of storage room. The oversized 3 car garage has a separate work space area and an approximately 640 square foot living area above with high beamed ceilings and a full bath. The original garage built in the 1940s is a great workshop and the outbuilding was once an ice block storage house. Situated on over an acre, the lush property has mature landscaping and beautiful gardens – possible horse property too! Close to Henry Cowell State Park for miles of hiking or horseback riding. Great commute location and close to wonderful Scotts Valley schools.
