Holiday Special with a new price! VERSATILITY......a property remodeled and developed the past 5 years with intent and purpose. While the footprint may seem small this is a property that LIVES LARGE. The Sellers took the majority of the house to the studs to create very livable spaces with quality materials. Simultaneously designed for current residents' and future inhabitants, this home expands and contracts with the variations of daily life. Possibilities are replete and tucked into the four corners of this property's footprint. There are reflective nooks as well as boisterous fun to be had in the back as well as front yard. Chickens for entertainment and food and spaces for toys for both young and mature. Quiet personal spaces alongside amenities for gatherings of friends and family alike lend to the ambiance and draw of home, gardens and utility buildings. There is a private gated entrance down the discrete walkway leading to the garden house. A building that is insulated with electrical conduit run making it possible to use the compact space as a cozy play, work or guest area. Private gate and gravel path at the side of the front porch welcomes users to a personal deck and entrance just off an ample bedroom. Readily usable not only for sleeping but also to be used as an entrance for adult children, extended family, Air BnB, or home office entry. On the main level the back rooms are situated so that a door can be added at the hallway entrance creating a private suite of rooms. Transform one of the bedrooms to a small kitchenette, and open the wall in the bathroom to an already plumbed laundry closet and owners can explore an ADU or Air BnB ready for increased earnings or caring for a parent or adult child. The 20 garden boxes placed throughout the back yard are built to be easily disassembled or reconfigured to create a smaller garden area, or with a bit of grass seed, a new lawn or fully transform the space with gravel for a zero scape. With this urban homestead, established in the permaculture style, weed eating is kept minimal and caring for the purposefully small fruit trees (espalier style) and gardens is quite doable for persons who have many and varied interests or are outside the home for most of the day. The relocated laundry into the garage creates ample space for storage, pantry, towels and kitchen overflow. This space allows for a pantry, workshop, for parking a car or setting up a game room. The water heater which is only a year old and supplies newer appliances. An RO system and whole house carbon filtration supports a healthy lifestyle. The wood burning stove can easily heat hearth and home in an emergency or be cozy for shear enjoyment. Expand this infrastructure by adding a rain barrel catch system and solar panels and you will be equipped to withstand the unexpected with ease and live life fully!
