Beautiful Rumsey Canyon Home

This neo-Craftsman Bungalow was lovingly built in recognition of the arts & crafts movement and prairie style architecture but it incorporates 1998 building codes. Combinations of natural and classic materials blend seamlessly to create gracious living areas particularly suited to the northern California climate. Innovative craftsmanship from yesterday’s and today’s artisans comes to life both inside and outside. Located in Rumsey, this property is an ideal country retreat. “Community” can be found in the small villages and towns of the 30-mile long Capay Valley, home to organic farming, whitewater rafting and a couple of wineries less than two hours
NW of San Francisco, and one hour from both Sacramento and Clear Lake. The site consists of a manageable 1.88 acres of old walnut orchard that is situated on flat and usable ground. This lovely home is surrounded on three sides by 1500 sq feet of incense cedar porch that is ideal for enjoying the outdoors in a protected environment. Except for carpeted bedrooms, flooring is ¾ inch tongue-and-groove red oak throughout. Window and door surrounds are clear, vertical grain Douglas fir. Walls are smooth and painted white for maximum flexibility in the display of artwork. The first floor features a GreatRoom with massive stone fireplace and a separate living room with Vermont Castings woodstove. The open floor plan dining-area is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The well appointed 13’ x 13’ country kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner Viking range, Fisher&Paykel double-dishwasher and GE Monogram refrigerator and bar sink. There is ample storage in the beautiful quarter-sawn oak kitchen cabinetry and additional storage space in the laundry room/half bath. The spacious 1st floor Master suite with office/study allow for single-level living if required. The 2nd floor has wonderful usable space including a small sleeping loft. It includes two more master suites each with architecturally interesting dormers, deep closet space, ensuite baths and window-seat reading benches with views of nearby hills. Situated between the bedrooms is a large living room which is big enough to serve as a media room.

This home is currently being operated as a fully licensed 2-bedroom Bed & Breakfast to supplement the owner's income. The business (Rumsey Canyon Inn) is for sale separately to the purchaser of the residence if buyer is interested. You may purchase this home without purchasing the business however.
