3875 Albion Little River Rd Albion, CA 95410

Just above the Albion River, this 3 bedroom home has a warm, easy cabin feel that really works. Wide wood floors, good natural light and an open communal layout make the main living space feel comfortable and inviting, while the refinished loft adds useful extra room for guests, an office or whatever else is needed. The house has had a number of practical updates, including newer kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, forced-air heat with a Nest thermostat, a newer wood stove and many replaced windows. There is also a walk-in shower, built-in shelving, wainscoting and other details that give the house some personality and keep it from feeling generic. Outside are a detached garage, storage, garden areas, water storage and a fenced yard. The parcel is compact and easy to maintain. The property is currently being run as a very successful short-term rental, with strong occupancy and an established rental history. That makes it appealing not only as a full-time home or coastal getaway, but also for someone who wants a second home with proven income potential. It is an easy jaunt into Mendocino for dinner, drinks, shopping or a walk around town, then back home to a quieter, more private getaway. Beaches, trails and the Albion River are all close by as well.
