Rich in character and local history, this charming Freshwater farmhouse dates to 1877 and offers a rare connection to the past. The home features beautiful hardwood floors in the main living area and dining room, along with lovely gardens in both the front and back. Beyond the gardens, there is a spacious grassy backyard accompanied with fruit trees. There is a separate cottage that includes a kitchenette, bathroom, and laundry hookups, offering potential for guest accommodations. The home was also once lived in by Dr. Marianne Pennekamp, a refugee from Germany who went on to become a respected educator and community advocate in Humboldt County. Her connection adds a meaningful chapter to the story of this special property. With its historic character, garden setting, and unique place in Freshwater's history, this is a home with a story all its own.
