Located minutes away from the Arcata Community Forest, Redwood Park, and Cal Poly Humboldt, this home's need for attention and TLC offers buyers a unique investment opportunity to acquire a special property at a price point that typically isn't seen for this desirable area. Some highlights are the welcoming and impressive mid-level entry with large, fixed pane windows, and an open wood railing; the upper-level main living area with a fireplace insert, and southern exposure letting in abundant natural light and elevated views of the beautiful surrounding green belt and horizon of redwood trees in the distance; and the flexible floor plan with a sizeable downstairs that has a separate entrance and deck. The possibilities might be a 4th bedroom, a recreation room, home office, or rental unit. The corner lot provides breathability and a sense of expanse. The yard is a nice mix of open lawn and mature trees, with a striking Japanese dogwood tree accent adjacent to the driveway. Easy to show and priced for an AS-IS sale, this one is definitely worth considering. Seller to complete sewer lateral prior to close of escrow.
