Description

Adorable Mid-Century Modern cottage on quiet double lot above Clear Lake is much more private than you'd expect from a house in town with 180 degree panoramic views of Clear Lake and the mountains beyond. Unique layout includes an upstairs unit with open great room and an entire wall of windows to take in the tranquil view and recently redone kitchen with subway tile and butcher block countertops. A wood stove on tile make it a super cozy hangout. There's also a nicely sized bedroom with lots of closets and bathroom with shower over tub. Downstairs there's a second space currently used as a studio apartment with its own small bathroom with shower and a cute kitchenette. In addition, there's a shared laundry room with stacking washer/dryer. The double lot has lots of space to play outside including two covered patios, a huge covered front deck and a gazebo hang out on the side of the property. There's a good bit of parking, too, with a covered carport with storage, private driveway and second parking area that would work for a larger vehicle that can climb a bit of a hill. Not only that, but a lot of the original detail of the house has been preserved and restored, including some of the interior doors, open beams, pine paneling, bathroom tile and charming casement windows.
