The main residence is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath fixer in need of significant work, but the bones of the opportunity are all here. An attached 2-car garage, covered carport, and two detached studio structures round out the property, set among beautiful redwoods with the kind of privacy that simply isn't replicated in new development.
