Don't mind a project? Check out this 1421 s/f cabin within walking distance to the ferry. This 1 bed, plus loft, fixer upper is south facing, has lots of natural light & sun exposure & sits on 0.39 acres. The lower level is unfinished, but would be good for a workshop, storage area or finish it off, & it would make a great studio space. With some effort & design ideas the main floor could be a very nice open plan living space. Grab your tools, head upstairs to the loft area & repeat the process! This property is in the Yellow Zone area on Wood Dale Dr, which means it is situated at the bottom of a steep rocky slope & if you choose to make any changes to the footprint of the house, a geotechnical survey will be needed before a building permit will be issued. Covenant is in the listing pkg
