More Insights
Built in 1940 (85 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this property shows signs of regular upkeep and some recent updates, particularly in the kitchen, which features modern white cabinets, live-edge wood countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a contemporary range. The flooring throughout the main living areas also appears to be updated hardwood or laminate in good condition. However, the overall age of the home (1940) suggests that many major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) are likely older and may be nearing or beyond their expected lifespan, or have been updated 15-30+ years ago. The bathroom is not pictured, which is a significant omission, and given the property's age and 'bohemian' description, it could be a major area requiring renovation. Light fixtures in other rooms appear dated. While move-in ready, it likely requires minor updates and repairs to bring all components up to modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

About this home
If you're ready for the country, this home could be the perfect fit. Don't miss this bohemian, spacious 3 bd/1 bath home in the redwoods of La Honda. Great for full-time living - a pretty 30-min drive thru redwoods to 280/Woodside Rd. Great also for a get-away vacation home. Downtown La Honda (5 mins) has a Country Store for conveniences & great elementary school. Only 10 mins to San Gregorio Store & Beach, or 20 mins to the famous Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero. Hike at nearby parks, cruise your moto on local roads, comb the beach, shop in Santa Cruz & Half Moon Bay, or just hang out on your deck or cozy-up in front of the fire. Redwood Terrace has a private water company, no HOA.
