Need a hug? This cozy gem in the woods feels like a pair of welcoming arms! Sited on two south-facing lots facing Hulbert Creek, and surrounded by stands of old-growth forest, you're soon to know what a lucky few have loved about this property over the past century. Dappled sunlight, whispering wind, and the lull of rushing waters will help you reset in a jiffy, and that's not just effusive broker babble! The scale of this cottage is adorable, the layout efficient, and the contiguous outdoor living spaces pay perfect homage to California's celebrated lifestyle. Adding to the easy-living vibe of this clapboard clad cottage are vaulted ceilings featuring a dual pane skylight w/automated sunshade in the living room, new wide-plank flooring, dual pane windows, a skylit kitchen featuring ample cabinetry, Silestone counters, a porcelain farmhouse sink and a configuration that would please most any cook. A remote controlled gas fireplace stove sets a warm tone in the living room when the weather compels you to snuggle. When the temps rise, the room opens to a gracious covered porch, which is large enough to serve as a 2nd living room, perfect for naps and novels, complete with a softly babbling fountain. The adjacent deck is well-proportioned for grillin' and chillin' beneath a leafy overstory of mature trees. What's more, there's enough ground to keep anyone with a green thumb happy. Full size laundry machines are in a dedicated closet. Two car parking out front and garage parking for one teeny tiny car with lots of storage to spare. The plumbing is copper. The roof is new composition shingle. The 40 gallon water heater is a year old. The electrical is 100 amp, 220 volt on breakers. It's a flat walk to downtown Guerneville destinations! No mountains to climb to your front door. No super scary one lane roads to navigate on busy weekends, or worse yet, in an emergency. What more could you ask for? You have to see this one.
