This bungalow fixer is perfectly situated on the edge of town. Large backyard and deck area faces panoramic views of the Eel River valley and hills. The .25 acres has excellent sun exposure and is flat, usable, and just right for any gardening or further development vision. The new roof installed this year provides a great jump start for the remaining repair and upgrade work needed. This home is small but has an effective floor plan with a cozy central hearth, and sizeable closets in each of the bedrooms. The garage with a built in workbench and the back entry storage room add practical convenience.
