Some homes are built. Others are discovered. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Arcata's sought-after Woodland Heights neighborhood, where towering redwoods have stood for generations, sits a home that feels remarkably private while remaining just minutes from downtown Arcata, Cal Poly Humboldt, the Arcata Community Forest, and the North Coast's breathtaking beaches. Set on an oversized 0.72-acre parcel, this custom 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers something increasingly difficult to find: privacy, timeless craftsmanship, and a setting that feels worlds away while keeping everything Arcata has to offer within easy reach. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone before you ever step inside. Natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating rich hardwood floors, warmed by radiant heat, while framing views of the surrounding redwoods. Every room feels connected to the landscape beyond. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring Avonite® solid-surface countertops, a gas range, breakfast nook, and generous workspace. The formal dining room is ready for holiday gatherings, while two spacious living areas, each anchored by its own fireplace, create inviting spaces to celebrate, relax, or simply enjoy a quiet evening. One fireplace offers the warmth of a traditional wood-burning fire with the convenience of a gas starter. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with French doors opening to a private sitting area overlooking the trees. The ensuite bath features dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, while an oversized walk-in closet and two additional closets provide exceptional storage and flexibility. Step outside and you'll discover what truly makes this property unforgettable. Expansive decks overlook a canopy of mature redwoods, creating outdoor living spaces that feel immersed in nature. Follow the softly lit pathway to the secluded hot tub, complete with a nearby outdoor shower, where evenings are spent beneath the trees and the stars. Beyond its beauty, this home has been thoughtfully maintained and prepared for its next owner. The home has been professionally inspected and includes a one-year home warranty, allowing buyers to move forward with added confidence. The roof was replaced approximately three years ago, and additional features include RV parking, Electric car charger, extensive built-in garage storage, and dedicated laundry room. Woodland Heights remains one of Arcata's most desirable neighborhoods, known for its custom homes, mature redwoods, and proximity to the Arcata Community Forest, Cal Poly Humboldt, downtown Arcata, and the North Coast's spectacular beaches.
