Open House Saturday Sept. 6 (1-3)
A Sunny Arcata Gem in the Making!
Tucked into a bright, cheerful spot in Arcata, 991 Shirley Blvd. is a home with heart and room to grow. With three bedrooms, one bath, and a cozy 960 sq. ft. footprint, it's just the right size to make your own. The living room features original wood floors adding some warmth & character. The brand-new front porch welcomes you in, while the large backyard garden offers space to dig in, relax, or gather with friends. A single-car garage adds convenience, and the location—just about a mile from Cal Poly Humboldt—puts you close to the energy of campus and the charm of downtown Arcata. A little elbow grease will go a long way here, making this a sweet opportunity to create your own sunny haven. Photos to be completed Sept.
