Description

This is a charming restored historic 2 bedroom 1.5 bath cottage; sits on a huge 1.5 acre lot right in the heart of Arcata. Just three blocks to Cal Poly, five blocks to downtown (walking distance to coffee, farmers market, ice cream, groceries), and five blocks to Redwood Park. Easy access to Hwy 101 -- just a 10 minute commute to Eureka or to nearby beaches and parks. You'll find an incredible yard that backs up to a creek; big yard and firepit to enjoy. Totally remodeled in 2022, this home has refinished hardwood floors, beautiful tile work, and an intact historic kitchen with the original cabinetry and new high end fixtures. There's lots of natural lighting, a back deck, off street parking, and a wonderful front porch where you can sip your coffee. It also has a basement for storage. Comes fully furnished and includes kitchen essentials. This is really a unique rental in an historic house.

No smoking. Pets negotiable with refundable pet deposit. Off street parking and access to unfinished basement. Lease month by month, and we prefer 1 year in length. Tenant pays for utilities (PG&E, WiFi). Smart TV is cable ready, tenant pays for cable or streaming services if wanted. Cleaning fee of $250 taken from deposit at the end.

    "Some of my family is from here, and I go to school here. The arts scene (ie music, painting, photography, writing) is all super impressive and inviting. The college community is extremely welcoming and fun, but low key."

    "I can walk just about everywhere I need to go. My neighborhood has 5 Restaurants a quarter mile away and about 10 more a mile to 2 miles always. I can walk to 2 different grocery store, parks, the post office, town square where the Farmers Market is on Saturday’s. The south freeway is just 3 streets up or 2 streets behind me for north. I feel safe to walk all around my neighborhood. I take my pit bull on walks 2-3 times a day and the neighborhood people just love him. "

    "I live by two bus stops that pick up once every hour to go either one way towards downtown or the other. The commute is pretty easy (only takes about 15-20 minutes to get downtown), although sometimes there will be people on the bus that stare at me/make me feel a bit unsettled. "

    "College town mixed with various hippy style artists from around the world. A very Community oriented area accepting of all of even the most eccentric characters. Where else in the world do you see dog being pushed in a stroller on the same sidewalk as a guy who walk his yak around town. Los Bagels a Jewish Mexican biracial owned bakery and bagel shop is a social hub which represents the diversity here well. Lots of community events for local businesses to set up stands around the Arcata Plaza."
