Indulge in crisp sea breezes from every corner of this extraordinary haven awaiting your loving care! Positioned on a secluded cul-de-sac, the original redwood cabin was expanded by its current owner in 1990 and offers considerable privacy. Inside, vaulted cedar ceilings and walls set the tone, while a brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room with timeless character. Natural light pours through skylights, illuminating the dining area, while the adjoining kitchen is both practical and stylish, with stainless steel appliances, a prep island, tiled countertops, and a generous pantry.
The main floor offers an office/library with built-in shelves and a loft, plus two comfortable bedrooms for flexible sleeping arrangements - all of which offer views of the shimmering sea. A second primary suite, with soaring ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a balcony with whitewater vistas, and a tranquil ensuite, is exclusive to the upper level. Perks include a laundry nook, ample parking, and abundant storage throughout. Unwind in your low-maintenance yard with citrus trees, host celebrations on the expansive deck with its ocean views, and enjoy easy access to Moonstone Beach and Cambria’s West Village. Come see how this coastal retreat could be your ideal escape from the city!
