This custom Arcata Mid Century Modern home has open wood beam ceilings and an open floor plan centered around a big brick fireplace. French doors open onto a big, sunny, south facing backyard with patio, lawn, garden beds. Delightfully different than the surrounding homes, the story is that the original owner worked at Humboldt State University, constructing many of the long concrete stairways on the campus, and built this home for himself and his family. The beautifully simple design puts over 2000 square feet (including garage, carport, two extra rooms) of total space under a beam ceiling. Perfect for the family that wants a large home they can live in comfortably now and the great bones to remodel into their dream home later. New Forced Air Furnace. Tenant has lease through September.
