Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1911, the property has undergone significant renovations (estimated 5-15 years ago) and is well-maintained. The interior features modern flooring, updated lighting, and skylights, while the exterior decks and siding appear in good condition. It is move-in ready, though the presence of a window AC unit suggests the lack of a modern central HVAC system.
Perfectly situated near Armstrong Redwoods and downtown Guerneville, this property offers exceptional access to world-class hiking, river recreation, and local dining, making it a highly desirable vacation retreat or residence.
The home is connected to public water and sewer systems, a significant advantage in the Russian River area that eliminates the maintenance costs and environmental risks often associated with private wells and septic systems.
With two expansive sunny decks and large skylights, the home is designed to maximize its stunning redwood surroundings, providing a bright and airy atmosphere that embraces the natural forest setting.
Built in 1911, the property may require ongoing maintenance or structural updates typical of older homes, and the interior spiral staircase may present accessibility challenges for some residents.
The modest 3,999 sqft lot and hillside topography limit flat outdoor space for gardening or play, restricting the property's utility primarily to its decked areas.
