Built around 1920, the cottage has been completely renovated with refinished wood floors and original (sand-blasted) vaulted wood ceilings. New insulation (R-30 in the roof) keeps the place cool in the summer and snug and warm in the winter. One large open living/dining/kitchen space. Lots of light via three double -pane French doors with built-in Venetian blinds (between the inner and outer glass).
Although listed as a 1 bedroom, there is not a full bedroom. Instead there is a sleeping alcove large enough for a queen bed and bureau, that is curtained off so it can’t be seen from the living space.
A palatial bathroom with a marble-topped wooden sink cabinet, tile floor, large cast iron claw-foot tub/shower with a vented skylight above the tub (in the vaulted ceiling), and a huge walk-in closet.
Loft area over the kitchen is great for storage or as a guest sleeping area (too close to ceiling for every day use).
Large 300 sq. ft. deck has a roofed section which means there is ample space for an outdoor dining room and outdoor living room. The complete privacy means sleeping outside is also possible.
Thermostat-controlled electric baseboard heat, in the bathroom and living space. Passive solar means electric heat is only needed on successive rainy days and the few freezing days in December.
The full kitchen has a Wedgewood gas stove, side-by side refrigerator, and porcelain kitchen sink. An outside alcove contains a washing machine and gas dryer.
Most utilities are included (gas, water, garbage, and high-speed internet). Tenant pays for electricity (metered) which is mainly used in winter for baseboard heat.
No garage but a separate building is available for storage. The last photo shows the exterior of the storage shed
Private fenced and gated backyard with raised (organic) garden beds, a peach tree, a plum tree, and lots of flowers and succulents.
On well and septic. Well water is tested annually but a slight amount of chlorine is added for safety.
If interested, please help me determine if this place is appropriate for you by replying with a description yourself (and pets, if any). Note: I am looking for a long-term tenant who, hopefully, likes to garden.
When replying, please include your email address—craigslist removes it, and optionally, include your cell phone number so I can text you after this listing is removed (due to large number of replies).
I will acknowledge all emails within 2 days, so if you don’t hear from me, it means your email didn’t reach me.
