Property Description
WHISKEY CREEK HOME w/1940s CHARM & APARTMENT. Just off the Sierra Scenic Byway, near Yosemite National Park and Bass Lake, you’ll find this 1946 3br/2ba 1998 sq ft home on 7.71 acres up on a hill, with year-round Whiskey Creek wrapping around it on 3 sides. Owned by one family since 1961, it’s had many upgrades over the years – siding, floors, roof, extensive porch addition, a relatively recent kitchen remodel, fire suppression system, etc. but many of the original fixtures & features of the era remain. Stained glass windows, older chandeliers & light fixtures, and lit display windows in walls are delightful reminders of the home’s eclectic history. The great room flows from the kitchen to the dining area to the large living room with a custom made rock hearth for the woodstove. There’s plenty of room to add your stamp to its unique character. Outside, it has a detached, 2 story garage with office space, storage rooms, an extra deep single car bay, and a rustic upstairs studio apartment w/a Murphy bed, a unique pecky cedar ceiling that lights up from behind, more stained glass, and 2 porches. Whisky Creek bisects the acreage, offering a long winding section that includes huge boulders and a swimming hole. On the far side of the creek is a wooded hillside of tall pine, oak & manzanita that provides privacy & room to roam. The property offers a developed garden area w/raised beds, a hoop frame, perennial plantings of berries, herbs & bulbs, fruit trees, trellised table grapes, a shed, a chicken coop with a large run, mature landscape plantings of lilacs, rosemary and other flowering bushes, a fenced area for pets next to the home, a double wide carport, and a parking space with electrical hookup for an RV. Consider this property for an extended family, a 2nd home, a rental or vacation rental, or a get-away-from-it-all retreat. Grow your own food, take a dip in the creek, enjoy the sweet scented lilacs in spring, the babbling sound of the creek below, and the views of the Chiquito Sierra Range from the covered porch…
