About This Home

As of March 2025

This one sold, but I've got another Bonny Doon fixer in the pipeline. Email Frank for info. Here's your chance to pick up this diamond in the rough! Back on Market due to changed Buyer's circumstances. Located in a lovely area and blessed with RA zoning for lots of flexibility, this simple 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin offers a wealth of possibilities. The parcel is slightly over 3/4 of an acre and is located near the end of a quiet and private road. The original 2 room cabin was built in the 1950's, with subsequent expansion to allow the current efficient floorplan. The living room vaulted ceiling allows you to enjoy lots of light; the warm fir floors in much of the house add to the homey feeling. Be sure to appreciate the hand made and hand painted kitchen tiles depicting various types of gorgeous fish! The fenced garden below the house provides an oasis bursting with flowers and vegetables. Our occupant is a talented glass/neon artist with wonderful vision but very limited resources. As a result, there is deferred maintenance in many areas. If you have the skills and patience to tackle a fixer upper needing an infusion of energy and financing, this could be the diamond in the rough you have been looking for. Vermont Castings stove in living room is not included in the sale.
