Description

LOVELY MID CENTURY style home + IN LAW unit with a private, country feel near the heart of downtown Sonora. CREEKSIDE setting with over 500' of Woods Creek in your backyard with RIPARIAN RIGHTS included. 3 legal parcels make-up this enchanting setting with each parcel touching the creek. The home and in-unit occupy a 1/4 acre, while the other 2 legal parcels provide privacy and endless opportunities to garden and relax. The history of this "compound" is rich with stories of being a Christmas Tree farm, gold panning fun and year-round splashing in the creek. If you have a love for classic homes, this property is sure to capture your heart. The large roof overhang with soffits provides not only protection against the elements, but a place to relax and soak up the landscape. Floor to ceiling windows provide a scenic backdrop in the family room. Upper accent lights and a hand carved locally sourced mantle add just the right touch to create an inviting space. The brick accent around the fireplace can be enjoyed from both the family and living room. Warm, solid knotty cedar throughout the living room, with the iconic planter bed and skylight above at the main entry. The kitchen captures views to the creek and yard and offers a quaint breakfast nook. All your bedrooms and a full bathroom are down the hall, with each bedroom having unique features. Built-in's, pristine wood paneling and spacious closets enhance these rooms. The hall bathroom offers tile flooring, a single vanity sink with accent lighting, powder desk and soaking tub. The second bathroom is near the garage offering a tile stall shower with green trim tile accents and glass block walls. As with all older homes you can find a basement beneath, providing a great space for canned goods and storage. The stand alone IN-LAW UNIT offers a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom space with a full kitchen and year round sounds of the creek. As you cross the bridge you will feel as though you are out in the countryside with all the established fruit trees and 2,000sqft garden just waiting to be revived. This home has provided many years of enjoyment to the owners and their family members who feel the easy walk to town is just another perk of residing here. Sonora CA is one of the oldest cities in California providing a great basecamp for visitors to explore Yosemite National Park, Pinecrest Lake, Eastern Sierras and as always excellent shopping and dining.
