14215 River Rd, # 3, Walnut Grove, CA 95690

This little two room private flat in a historic house is in the historic "Legacy" town of Walnut Grove, 15 miles down the Sacramento River from Elk Grove, 30 from Sacramento. It is the perfect spot for the person with an appreciation of Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi", except it's Life on the Sacramento River. But in the San Francisco Bay Delta! This designated "California Legacy Town" offers a small-town Delta community, within a 30-minute drive of our state capital, Sacramento, and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Delta has also just passed our U.S. Congress to become the first in California(!) National Heritage Area! There will be lots of opportunities (and need) to get involved! This house was built for its river views, on the confluence of the Sacramento River and the Georgina Slough, in 1875 by Fred Wickers, the town's original butcher. This little flat on the river is a 1 to 2 minute walk to: Farmer's Bank, hardware store, grocery store, Post Office, Library with free wi-fi, and within a five minute walk to the ice cream parlor, restaurants, Tony's bar, public dock, art gallery, shops, gas station, etc. The historic Chinese-built town of Locke is one mile up river, with the iconic "Al's Place". In short the place is a step back in time, and a blast. The flat offers: *use of a two person kayak (magnificent kayaking on the Georgiana Slough and Delta Meadows State Park, and the Sacramento River too of course! *Historic crown moldings and carpeted flooring. *Beautiful view of the river which is RARE, AND on the second floor (steep stairs). *Tiny kitchenette with: stainless steel sink/counter/cabinets/and little refrigerator (space for larger refrigerator if you wish to provide), table with microwave, toaster oven, and two electric burners. *Two small rooms with nine-foot ceilings and ceiling fans, built-in shelves and medium size closet. Can have antique armoire with mirror for more hanging space. *Bathroom with shower stall is SHARED right outside the flat in a shared hall (adjacent flat has quiet, private tenant- sharing has never been a problem). *Stairs are steep, caution must be used (style of the historic period).
