Sebastopol, CA 95472 286 Hutchins Ave

Live the best of both worlds -- country and 'city' -- where a sun-drenched rear yard offers long views toward the dreamy Laguna and where it's oh-so tempting to leave the car at home and stroll to numerous beloved restaurants, groceries, coffee, services, and even Sebastopol's thriving Barlow District! This adorable, single-story country cottage with 16'x26'+/- garage/workshop/laundry room will charm and surprise you. Gather in the spacious, updated kitchen with central island, or flow into the adjoining, vaulted ceiling 'family room' with its inviting view-rich window seat. Prefer a cozier vibe? The entry living room with its gas-burning wood stove and sweet era arch is just what you need, then. Additional improvements include wood shutters throughout, wood flooring in the bedrooms and kitchen, and a beautifully updated bathroom with shower skylight. Outside, imagine the garden you may create -- or perhaps an outbuilding -- or farm animals you can love (buyer to verify possible uses for this land). Sit a spell on the front porch and wave to the meandering neighbors on this mostly rural, no-through-traffic street so close to all that Sebastopol has to share. Welcome home!
