About This Home

As of August 2019

On a shy two acre hillside parcel, with dramatic views of the Tohikon Creek, sits Braski Cottage. This wonderful retreat is nestled into the site so perfectly, that it gives true meaning to the expression ... one with nature. The current owners have developed the land so that every area is guaranteed a view of the creek. From the decks, walkways and meditation area, there is the running current of the water below. The main house has three levels: the main level is composed of one large room that serves both living and dining spaces. The woodburning stove adds the literal and figurative warmth as the nucleus of the room. The kitchen, open to living space, allows all parties to communicate and enjoy the wonderful setting. The master bedroom is on the upper level and the lower level -- currently used as a den -- can easily be used as a sleeping area for overnight guests. There is a separate cottage that has a charming guest apartment and its own kitchenette and master bath. Braski Cottage is ideal as a fulltime home or the perfect respite for the weekends or a summer escape. This is a property that captures a storybook sensibility and provides one of the more dramatic backdrops of a home currently on the market, at this price point. Here is the proverbial opportunity knocking, but only the romantic will hear its knock. Note that the square footage of the house is 1,182 sq. ft, the cottage is 600 square feet and the garage is 220 square feet. The main house has one bedroom and bath and there is a second bath in the guest apartment.
