Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1974, the property has been well-maintained and features significant updates that place it in the 'Good' category. The kitchen has been renovated within the last 10-15 years with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. The interior shows high-quality wood flooring, updated windows, and well-preserved vaulted ceilings, making it move-in ready.
This custom-built home features whimsical design elements like angled wood ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a lofted library, offering a distinct personality that stands out from standard residential builds.
The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with its own fireplace, four closets, a spa-access deck, and a unique lofted library, providing an exceptional level of space and privacy.
The separate two-car garage includes a dedicated workshop, storage room, and a full standing-height attic, offering significant versatility for hobbies, storage, or potential future conversion.
Built in 1974 and featuring extensive wood siding and winding decks nestled under redwoods, the property likely requires ongoing maintenance to mitigate moisture, wood rot, and fire safety concerns.
The home’s whimsical design includes various levels, lofts, and step-down features which may limit accessibility for buyers seeking a more traditional or age-in-place friendly floor plan.
Let me take you on a whimsical journey to a house tucked under towering redwoods and meandering oak trees. It’s a home you’ve probably admired and wondered, “What kind of interesting person lives there?” This is no cookie cutter home, after all it is in Cambria. It is an abode created by letting the land dictate its path and finding solace among the trees. Inside you will find angled wood ceilings and beams, windows with tree views at every turn, skylights, chandeliers, wood floors and stained-glass windows. The floor plan has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a large open kitchen with wood and glass cabinetry, a dining room with a built-in cabinet and deck, and a living room with fireplace, floor to ceiling windows and a deck. Magical. The primary bedroom was designed for royalty and occupies its own private area. The towering ceilings allow for a lofted library with built-in shelves and seating nook overlooking the room below. The main floor of this bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace at one end, four closets, and a door to the back deck with spa. The bedroom is large enough for a seating area…perhaps in front of the fireplace and much more. The primary bathroom has a step down, tiled shower/tub with skylight, dual sinks and a door to a deck. The adjacent laundry room has a sink, cabinetry and a door to the back deck. The winding back deck has seating areas and a spa tucked under the trees. A two car garage is in a separate structure and has a workshop room plus a storage room, and a full standing-height attic room above it. Surrounding the home are stone and brick pathways, beautifully constructed. Located on Lodge Hill this home is a short drive to the Ficalini Ranch trails, the beaches of Cambria and the village where shopping and restaurants abound.
