Full of warmth, character, and potential, this 1925 cottage - likely one of the original homes in the neighborhood - rests on a tree-studded 0.28-acre lot near American River College. Step inside to a spacious living room with a cast-iron fireplace, built-in bookshelves, vintage wallpaper, and skylights that fill the space with light and charm. The home offers two comfortable bedrooms and two full baths, including a private ensuite in the primary. The hall bath features a classic clawfoot tub and a small standing shower that's ready for a refresh. The light-filled kitchen and dining area create a welcoming space for gathering, opening to a large patio perfect for hosting get-togethers or enjoying a relaxing evening under the trees. The detached garage structure needs repair, but with updated electrical - including a 220-volt outlet - it's easy to imagine as a creative workshop, studio, or even explore options for a future ADU (buyer to verify). With a newer roof, updated windows, upgraded 200-amp panel, indoor laundry, and central A/C, this home blends modern function with nostalgic charm. Whether you embrace its quirky details or reimagine them in your own style, this property offers a rare mix of history, personality, and potential.
