Welcome to this charming country retreat in the peaceful community of Kelsey, just a 20-minute drive from downtown Placerville. This warm and inviting home features owned solar and showcases beautiful knotty pine interiors, vaulted ceilings, and durable hard-surface flooring. The classic Wedgewood gas range adds vintage appeal to the kitchen, complemented by natural wood cabinetry and thoughtful craftsmanship. Featuring 2 bedrooms plus a sleeping loft, this home offers cozy comfort and flexible living space. Step outside and discover an incredible raised bed and deer-fenced garden, a greenhouse, and a dedicated canning house, perfect for anyone seeking a self-sustaining lifestyle. Practical upgrades include owned solar with three Tesla Powerwall batteries, a private well plus EID water, and a fully fenced property ideal for pets or livestock. The automatic security gate, detached garage/shop with office and utility room, and ample space for storage or hobbies add even more versatility. While the exterior could use some fresh paint, we have a recent pest report with less than $5k in section 1 repairs. This property's charm, functionality, and potential make it an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer. Welcome home!
