Back to school special! What a great price for this single story 3 bedroom, 2 baths home surrounded by forest lands. With a US Forest Service parcel on the left, and California Conservancy lands in the rear, on the right and across the street, there is a nice feel of privacy with this beautiful forest setting. Built on a gentle up sloping lot, you can enter the home from the front wood steps or through the stairwell inside the back of the garage. What a great floorplan as the good sized living room has a wood burning fireplace and sliding glass door to access the sunny covered front deck where you can sit and enjoy the forest views. To the left of the living room are 2 bedrooms of which one also has a slider to the front deck, and the hall full bath. To the right of the living room is the master suite with master bath and sliding glass door to a side deck. The kitchen has had some upgrades to the cabinetry and counters some years ago and has a door to the back deck and huge forested yard. This home has so much potential and with some repairs and updates could be a great primary residence or second home. Sorry, the school bus in not included!
