Architectural Gem in Pine Cove: An architectural gem by beloved local architect Robert Priefer, this 1,700 square foot home was built in 1989 and blends natural beauty with thoughtful design, offering breathtaking forest and city light views from every level. Step inside to find exquisite craftsmanship on the first floor, where exposed wood beam ceilings and sun-washed, wood-encased windows draw the surrounding forest indoors. The well-appointed kitchen is oriented to make the most of those views, with custom cabinetry that carries through the living area and bedrooms. The second level holds two spacious bedrooms, along with a primary bathroom anchored by a 90-degree window that dissolves the line between indoors and forest. The third floor offers flexible space for a bedroom or office, along with a second 3/4 bathroom and the laundry room. Decks on every floor extend each room into its own private outdoor retreat, embracing the setting from top to bottom, and the property is newly enclosed by a cable-detailed redwood fence. Practical amenities round out the home: a newer furnace, two water heaters, a fenced dog run, ample outdoor storage, and a durable metal roof. Here, architecture and landscape move in step with each other, offering a home built for both everyday living and quiet retreat.
