The living room offers a warm and inviting space to relax and unwind, with the opportunity to create a cozy fireplace focal point for cool Sierra foothill evenings. Upstairs bedrooms provide generous space and peaceful retreats, complete with split units for comfort. A finished basement adds flexibility for hobbies, storage, or additional living space.
