Charming contemporary cottage on the Westside of St. Helena. Not your typical cookie-cutter house, this home is a mix of old and new, the home of an artist whether in spirit or inclination. The "L" shaped interior separates the living room/dining room/kitchen from the bedrooms, baths and laundry area. A peaked ceiling with a half wall separates the living room and dining spaces while providing good circulation. Large plank wood floors in most of the house, contemporary concrete in the master bedroom. Stylish kitchen and baths. A wall of French doors in both the dining room and master bedroom frames views of the spacious garden and the western hills. The quarter acre lot has abundant space for mature perennials, bulbs, old-fashioned flowering shrubs and seasonal vegetables; mature trees provide a variety of shady spots for a hammock and outside dining. A short few blocks to downtown.
