Slow down and plant your roots in this cozy four-bedroom home located in the Merry Mountain community of Clipper Mills. Nestled in the Sierra Foothills, this home belongs to naturalist and former teachers of Woodleaf. The landscape features a variety of native plants, shrubs, and wildflowers and is surrounded with over 50 dogwoods and a stately maple tree - creating a breathtaking display every spring and fall. Step through the front door into a welcoming living room with a wood-burning stove, which opens into a kitchen and breakfast nook overlooking the serene landscape. The main level offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry area with washer and dryer. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms with beautiful open-beam ceilings-one currently used as a creative workspace-along with a half bathroom. A breezeway leads to a detached garage and studio space, and a nearby woodshed ready to keep you warm through the the winter months. Outside, enjoy a sunny deck and irrigated lawn, ideal for relaxing on warm summer days. HOA includes access to the community pool, water from a shared well system, community burn pile, road debris removal (snow, tree, etc), and walking trails.
