Nearly an acre in Bayside with classic mid-century warmth, thoughtful updates and a wooded backdrop. This inviting 3-bedroom home features exposed-beam tongue-and-groove ceilings, redwood accents, tile flooring, a gas fireplace and electric radiant floor heat. The updated kitchen offers maple butcher-block counters, refinished cabinetry and a tile backsplash, while the remodeled bathroom provides updated finishes. Grid-tied solar, added insulation, an upgraded electrical panel and a metal roof enhance comfort and efficiency. Outside are open lawn, established landscaping, walkways, partial fencing and generous parking. Private well and septic, attached garage and a convenient location between Arcata and Eureka near Baywood Golf & Country Club complete this distinctive Bayside property. 2066 Golf Course Road offers the kind of setting that is increasingly difficult to duplicate: a manageable single-level residence surrounded by meaningful outdoor space, mature greenery Towering Redwoods and the relaxed atmosphere associated with Bayside living. The property combines a compact, efficient footprint with room to enjoy the outdoors, accommodate vehicles and equipment, garden, entertain or simply appreciate a greater sense of separation from neighboring properties. This updated Cottage is very flexible with 3 bedrooms yet cozy enough to easily maintain and accommodate a simplistic lifestyle. The attached single-car garage provides convenient covered parking, storage and direct utility value without requiring a separate outbuilding. The design and materials used in this home give it identity and soul that feels authentic rather than manufactured and provide a welcoming foundation for a variety of decorating styles. Tile flooring extends throughout the home, creating a consistent visual flow from room to room. The surface is practical for daily living and works especially well with the electric radiant floor heating system. Instead of relying only on forced air, the radiant system provides warmth from beneath the flooring and contributes to the home's comfortable, uncluttered clean air feel. A gas fireplace anchors the living area and offers another source of warmth along with a natural gathering point for quiet evenings, conversation or time spent at home. Energy-conscious improvements are a meaningful component of the property. The home has a 20-panel photovoltaic system that is grid tied and was installed by Six Rivers Solar. The seller also reports pumped-in insulation within the walls, additional roof insulation completed in connection with the metal roof, and an upgraded electrical panel. These improvements complement the electric radiant floor heating and gas fireplace by providing multiple elements intended to support comfort, energy management and long-term utility. Outdoor space is one of the property's strongest assets. The parcel is large enough to create a sense of openness without losing the established residential feel of the setting. Lawn areas provide room for recreation, outdoor seating, games, pets or gatherings. Established landscaping softens the property and helps it feel settled, while the wooded backdrop gives the outdoor areas a natural frame and reinforces the sense of privacy. Existing walkways provide defined movement around the residence and connect the home with the surrounding yard. Partial fencing adds structure to portions of the exterior without closing off the entire parcel. The combination of open lawn, landscaped areas and trees allows future owners to enjoy the property as it is or gradually shape different areas around their own interests. Bayside is valued for its natural surroundings and its convenient position between Arcata and Eureka. From this location, the property offers access to the services, employment, shopping, dining and cultural amenities of both communities while maintaining a setting that feels removed from denser in-town neighborhoods. Baywood Golf & Country Club is nearby, and the surrounding area reflects the wooded landscape and open residential character for which Bayside is known. This combination of location and setting makes the property appealing for those who want an efficient home without giving up land, parking or outdoor possibilities.
