Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1983 but shows evidence of consistent maintenance and partial updates. The kitchen features granite slab countertops and stainless steel appliances (approx. 10-15 years old), and at least one bathroom has been modernized with contemporary tiling and fixtures. While some elements like the oak cabinetry and carpeting are dated, the home is move-in ready with well-preserved redwood siding and decks.
The home features a distinctive reverse floor plan with soaring vaulted wood-beam ceilings and a 224 sqft solarium, offering a rare 'mountain lodge' aesthetic in a serene coastal forest setting.
Both spacious bedrooms are located on the lower level and feature their own ensuite bathrooms, providing excellent privacy and a functional layout for guests or roommates.
Expansive redwood decks and a stunning solarium create a perfect connection to the surrounding redwoods, ideal for entertaining or relaxing in a private, nature-filled environment.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1674, other record living area = 1450.
With only two bedrooms, the property may have limited appeal for larger families or buyers requiring multiple dedicated home office spaces.
The assigned elementary and middle schools currently hold lower ratings (4 and 3 respectively), which may be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
