The grounds have been lovingly maintained with mature fruit trees and a rose garden that even the most discerning rosarian would enjoy spending time in. The detached two-car garage ensures plenty of room for vehicles, storage, and toys. Additional storage space includes the basement, sheds, and studio. Owned Solar helps to minimize PG&E bills. Just 20 minutes to town while feeling like you're away from the hustle and bustle. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of the aptly named and highly desirable Happy Valley community.
