A cozy, post-war cottage right outside South Whitley. About a mile away is easy access to the Eel River which boasts kayaking and floating down to North Manchester. Recently updated with a new bathroom and redone plumbing, and plenty of storage in the house. Most electrical has been updated, and new insulation in the attic has been installed. Though there are updates, the house maintains its vintage charm with original knotty pine walls. Walk down the road to the local produce stand. Near the house, a lavender bush blooms each year to provide a Zen sensory experience. Surrounded by nature, this mid-century modest home comes with a natural wetland that hosts an array of local wildlife. Watch carefully for red cardinals, blue jays, and woodpeckers fluttering in the trees. Gaze at bald eagles soaring above and resting in the trees by the pond. Fall asleep on summer nights to the calming sounds of nature, such as frogs croaking on the water and the breeze through the towering pines. As John Muir said, “between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.” Though it is not a sprawling house, it is an open concept, updated, intimate home that provides the space needed for someone who wants to escape to a life in the pines.
