About This Home

As of June 2017

Live the homesteaders lifestyle in this close-in country Happy Valley home on acreage. Surrounded by expansive raised bed and terraced gardens with a diverse assortment of fruit trees and bushes, CA natives and drought tolerant plants, you will never want to leave this little slice of heaven on earth. Infused with country farmhouse charm, this 2,160 sf, 3BR/2BA home with large office and detached 2-car garage is an inviting mountain sanctuary. High ceilings, lots of windows, and all day sun show off a recently renovated kitchen, an updated master bedroom suite, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a brand new roof. An expansive deck, patio and garden paths tie this home so seamlessly with the stunning property. Tucked far from the main road on a sunny and peaceful, fully fenced 1.07 acre parcel of land in the desirable Happy Valley school district in a very commutable location, this is truly an opportunity to live in your own private Garden of Eden. Ask agents for U-Tube Garden Tour!
