Description
*PAID SOLAR & LARGE SHOP* Perfectly tucked away in a quiet corner of West Golden Hills, this single-story country farmhouse sits on just under an acre in one of Tehachapi's most desirable communities, only about 10 minutes from town. At 1,792 square feet, the home has been beautifully updated with warm farmhouse character, thoughtful storage, and an easy flow that feels both lived-in and move-in ready. Inside, a family room and formal dining room give you room to gather, while a secondary dining area opens directly to the kitchen. An indoor laundry room and powder room sit conveniently off the main living spaces. Down the hall, all three bedrooms feature oversized closets, with two full bathrooms including a private master en suite. Details and storage run throughout the house, giving it genuine character rather than a builder-box feel. Out back, the fully landscaped yard is cross-fenced, with a huge double-entry shop, RV access, and room for horses. Paid solar is already in place. Peaceful, practical, and set on usable land without leaving town behind.
