Property Description
Yes, your fairytale can come true! Welcome to The Stone's Throw Cottage, a magical 2 bed, 2 bath stone cottage built in 1942 by Lester Hammond. It is rumored to have been a wedding gift to his newly married son. Hammond built several stone houses between the 1920s and 1940s in this coveted Bowman neighborhood. Perched on a lovely half acre lot, filled with foxgloves, lavender, lilacs and trees aplenty (including two prolific plum trees), this home is anything but ordinary. With all the charm of yesteryear, including interior rock walls and a petrified wood fireplace, this space brings a little bit of enchantment to everyday living. Enjoy sitting on either of the two back porches looking out at your beautifully lush, private backyard. Modern touches include a tankless water heater, two mini split HVAC's, an indoor laundry room, a newer metal roof, and a primary bath with heated floors. The large primary en-suite bedroom has french doors that open onto a covered deck that's surrounded by trees, jasmine, and tranquil views. In the past few years the cottage has been a much loved AirBnB hosting hundreds of delighted guests who returned year after year to enjoy this charming retreat. The proximity to downtown Auburn and I-80 coupled with privacy, a walkable neighborhood, and an abundance of charm adds up to a fairytale of your very own.
