Oh what a sweet little place this is! Lovingly built, this post and beam home is full of local spruce, crafted by long-time Homer resident and naturalist Ed Schofield. Although Ed is no longer with us, the loving attention to detail that really highlighted all his life's work certainly is embodied in this home. Nestled on 2.2 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac about 6 miles out of Homer, this one bedroom, one bath home has a hand-built spruce kitchen, a Monitor heater, a cistern (for drinking water to be delivered), a septic system, and a small garage/shop which has a fully insulated and heated room that could easily be
a studio/guest bedroom. The picture to the right shows an example of the built-in local spruce shelving, trim and custom cabinetry in the first-floor bathroom. Spruce trim, exposed beams and finish work fill this cozy cottage and lend a warmth and ambiance that you don't always find. If you are a gardener, then this has several perfect spots for vegetables and flowers. There are also several naturalized spots containing local wild raspberries, elderberry, alder and wildflowers. The wild geranium in this area is especially lovely. The list price for this property is $179,500. Don't hesitate to contact me for more details.
