Tucked just off the road in downtown Homer, this charming character home sits on a rare double city lot with a stream, vibrant perennial gardens, and privacy that feels worlds away. Thoughtfully remodelled by Strong Construction, it blends old-home charm with modern touches--and the yard truly steals the show, especially in a summer like this one!Welcome to one of Homer's hidden gems an older home with heart, thoughtfully remodelled by Strong Construction in 2007 and set on an unusually private double lot just minutes from schools, shops, and trails. The west lot features a stream that adds serenity and space between you and the world. Mature perennial gardens bloom in every corner, offering colour, birdsong, and a sense of retreat that's rare this close to town. Set slightly below street level, the home offers natural privacy without fences no fishbowl feeling here. Inside, you'll find character blended with craftsmanship. The kitchen and dining area feature custom countertops and cozy touches throughout. The main bedroom opens to a sunny back deck perfect for slow mornings with coffee or sunset unwinding. Upstairs is its own little oasis peaceful, warm, and full of possibility. Whether you're tending the garden, relaxing by the stream, or watching summer unfold from your private deck, the outdoor space is where this home truly shines. There's also a garden shed for your tools and creative projects, rounding out a property that's as practical as it is delightful. Live in it full-time, or keep it as your in-town retreat. However you imagine it, this place offers the best of both worlds: charm, location, and the kind of quiet you don't expect to find downtown.
