Walk everywhere from this idyllic Arcata property that is like a dreamy little village unto its own in the middle of Arcata, with 6 homes spread out over a private, quiet, and exceptionally sunny .6 acre lot a short walk or bike ride away from the Arcata town center. If one of the tenants ever moved, which hasn't happened in over 5 years, this would be the perfect opportunity to remodel and make one of the homes your own and enjoy income from the other 5 homes. This walkable and bikeable to town or Cal Poly Humboldt location is a convenient and enjoyable place to live, and very pleasant and quiet feeling with the way that the homes are spread out, each unique with lots of space. Three of the homes are attractive and almost identical mid-century designs with high beam ceilings and glass on most of the south facing wall of the great room that has the living room and kitchen together, making them very bright, open, and light filled. These each have 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, an attached carport and are on slab foundations. The other three homes are older and more cozy feeling, each with a unique floorplan, two with covered porches, and all homes having lots of their own yard space for a private feel. Please make an appointment with your Realtor before visiting the property, which is down a quiet lane and fully occupied by great tenants that have all been here for more than 5 years and would love to stay.
