410a Mesa Rd

Up 75 steps from Mesa Road, tucked beneath a sprawling oak, sits a classic Rustic Canyon cabin that feels a world away yet is only blocks from Will Rogers State Beach and Rustic Canyon's restaurants. Inside, knotty pine walls and a dramatic vaulted, beamed ceiling set the tone. The living room centers on a stone fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. The dining area sits in a three-window bay that looks straight into the treetops and ocean lit by a Mission-style lantern chandelier and a mica pendant. The original hardwood floors run throughout, and ductless mini-splits keep every room comfortable year-round. The kitchen is full of vintage charm. It has a white enamel O'Keefe & Merritt gas range, a deep drainboard sink, and a butcher-block counter. It also has new appliances: refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and an in-unit stacked washer and dryer. A glass door opens onto the private back patio. The primary bedroom has a vaulted, beamed ceiling, windows on three sides with top down bottom up blinds framed with views of trees, a ceiling fan, and its own glass door to the patio. The second bedroom is bright, with white walls, two windows, and a closet nook. It works well as a guest room or office. The bathroom has been kept true to the era, with white subway tile, a hex mosaic floor, and a step in shower. Out back, a private fenced and gated patio wraps the house. There's room for an outdoor dining table, chairs, and a grill, all surrounded by aloes, terraced plantings, and a citrus tree. Please note that the home is reached by 75 outdoor steps up from Mesa. Street parking is available on Mesa below and Amalfi above. Some photos with furniture and decor are virtually staged as noted in description. Furniture is not included in rental.
