Picture perfect Penns Valley paradise! Serene and peaceful on 3+ private acres, be enchanted by this 1880's home with recent passive solar addition that soaks up pond and forested views. A rare blend of older home charm and character coupled with modern systems and updates makes this a true gem! Enjoy big windows, wonderful natural light, vaulted ceilings, slate floors, and cherry built-ins in the passive solar great room. The sweet farmhouse kitchen features ample recessed lights and a wonderful cookstove that can also heat the house, while the spacious living room offers a newer propane fireplace for ambiance and an additional heating option. The enclosed front porch, which boasts exotic wood species on the walls and maple flooring, could double as a third bedroom since a remodeled full bathroom with a handmade vanity is adjacent to it. Upstairs find two ample sized bedrooms, a large full bath, and access to the floored attic. The cozy foyer with terra cotta and Spanish painted tiles provides a welcoming entrance while the mudroom allows for storage and access to the woodshed. Ample storage abounds in the second floor of the four car (tandem) 30 x 40 foot garage complete with second floor storage. Relax on the deck (locust boards) in the sunshine or under cover while tossing food to the fish or watching the wildlife and enjoy fires in the firepit area. With newer roof, windows, boiler, water heater, and more, plus a generator just in case, this one has it all!
