## Description

### Agent Description
Location, sunshine, and a highly desirable neighborhood come together in this exceptional custom home in Arcata, thoughtfully built by respected local builder Gregory K. Bish. Known for his ''Custom by Design'' craftsmanship, the quality and creativity of his work are evident throughout every room and architectural angle of this one-of-a-kind residence. Set on just over half an acre near the top of East California Avenue, the property enjoys abundant natural light and stunning views from the many well-placed windows throughout the home. The sunny location is ideal for the owned solar system, Tesla Powerwall, and electric rapid car charging setup. Designed with flexibility and comfort in mind, this spacious home offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a separate laundry room, NEW ROOF and an attached triple car garage. The versatile floor plan easily accommodates a large household, multi-generational living, or extended guest stays. If you are searching for a truly unique property with quality craftsmanship, privacy, and the feeling of a personal sanctuary, this is a must-see home.
