PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

This handsome Queen Anne Victorian style home was built around the turn of the century, supposedly by a man who’d struck gold in the 1800’s. It still has many of the original details, including redwood 12x12 floor beams, woodwork and trim, and beautiful redwood flooring (also redwood under the upstairs carpets). Downstairs enjoy a living room, dining room, large entry hall and a spacious primary bedroom and remodeled primary bath with double sinks, a charming clawfoot tub, zero clearance tile walk in shower, and tile flooring. There’s also a half bath downstairs (toilet & sink) and a laundry and storage area with cabinets. Upstairs there are 4 rooms, plus the bathroom and the hall sitting area. Drop downstairs lead to the attic space, which has high ceilings and lots of storage, but is an unfinished space. The home has all single pane windows (appear to be mostly original) with storm windows on some. The plumbing and electrical have been updated through the years. A propane stove in the dining room is the primary heating source. The house is on over a half-acre corner lot with a large lawn and a fenced garden area. It’s got lovely wrap around porches and a nice patio with a built-in fire pit and a covered area, with sink, BBQ and cabinets. A two-car garage plus workshop and a cold storage building offer more space for storage and parking. It’s in a residential neighborhood on the edge of Etna, in the beautiful Scott Valley, south central Siskiyou County.

Etna, population under 1,000, offers all the necessary services from groceries and hardware to hair salon and a health clinic, library, elementary school and a high school. You can enjoy fresh baked pastries and gourmet coffee in mornings or elegant dining and cocktails in the evening. There are a variety of community events to experience including rodeos, parade, music festival, New Year's Eve parties and more. Scott Valley is bordered by the Marble Mountain Wilderness, Trinity Alps, and Russian Wilderness areas, so there are many opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, hunting and trout fishing in the area. You don’t have to own a lot of land to enjoy access to a lot of public outdoor opportunities in this area.
