Completely Renovated Bungalow in Rio Dell — Move-In Ready with Modern Upgrades Throughout
Welcome to 355 Douglas Street, Rio Dell, CA 95562 — a fully renovated two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow nestled in the heart of Humboldt County's most affordable and up-and-coming small city community. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer searching for move-in ready homes in Northern California, an investor seeking turnkey rental property in Humboldt County, or a remote worker looking to plant roots in a peaceful Eel River Valley town, this property checks every box.
From the moment you arrive, the craftsmanship is unmistakable. A brand-new cedar horizontal-slat privacy fence frames the front yard, while a Craftsman-inspired covered front porch — accented with warm cedar posts, black metal railing details, and a freshly painted gray lap siding exterior — sets a tone of quality and intentional design. The gravel side driveway leads to a large detached garage with tremendous potential for a workshop, storage, or creative studio.
Step inside and you'll immediately notice the wide-plank luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout every room, pairing beautifully with freshly painted white walls and all-new LED flush-mount lighting. The spacious 13'7" x 13'0" living room is bathed in natural light through large double-hung windows that frame views of Rio Dell's signature green hillsides — a daily reminder that you live in one of the most naturally beautiful corners of California.
The heart of this home is a showstopper kitchen. Completely rebuilt from scratch, it features full-height white shaker cabinets with matte black hardware, gleaming quartz countertops, a bold full-wall black hexagonal marble-look tile backsplash, a new stainless steel gas range, a stainless steel dishwasher, and a deep stainless sink with a pull-down spray faucet. The open kitchen-dining layout makes entertaining effortless.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully designed. The primary bedroom features dual windows with serene green-hillside views and real hardwood-toned flooring. The second bedroom is a standout feature: French glass doors open directly to the rear covered patio — perfect for morning coffee or seamless indoor-outdoor living. A dedicated laundry room (12'2" x 6'11") adds everyday convenience rarely found at this price point.
Outside, the large backyard is fully fenced and filled with mature trees, including a flowering magnolia, offering privacy, shade, and room to garden, play, or entertain. A covered pergola patio with translucent polycarbonate roofing extends your living space, rain or shine — a must-have in Humboldt County's famously lush climate.
The detached garage is a massive rustic structure with exposed timber trusses, a concrete floor, and original redwood framing — an ideal canvas for a workshop, art studio, or serious garage conversion project. The bones are extraordinary.
Located in Rio Dell, CA — a small city of approximately 3,500 residents situated along the Eel River, just 30 minutes south of Eureka and 45 minutes from Fortuna — this home is close to local schools, parks, and the beloved Eel River Bike Trail. With Humboldt County experiencing renewed interest from Bay Area transplants, remote workers, and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to redwood forests, fishing, and coastal access, Rio Dell represents some of the best value in all of Northern California real estate.
