About This Home

Nestled in a discreet corner of city life, this vintage cabin with Spanish-inspired accents blends rugged wilderness vibes with urban amenities. Flexible extra room on main level (home office, guest space, or cozy retreat) plus small loft w/skylight--a perfect perch to stargaze or simply soak in the treetop sway. Fenced yard w/shed and alley access has an abundance of perennials, lilacs, native ferns, garden area and more. This home truly offers the serene feel of being off grid without leaving the city. Easy airport access and your very own Totem Pole to greet you upon arrival. For those that don't want a traditional "cookie-cutter" home, this authentic cabin provides the rugged serenity you would expect from a true northern retreat. New boiler and water heater just installed. Many upgrades throughout the years--list of improvements included with listing information.
