Description

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, set back off the road, has all the charm and privacy of a home in the country, yet is 5 minutes from Mendocino and walking distance from the Spring Ranch Coastal Trail that winds out to the Pacific Ocean headlands. The house, built entirely of old growth redwood in 1944, has been lovingly maintained and renovated over the years with a huge amount of built-in storage that has been preserved. Also original is a large stone fireplace created by hand out of stones from many states with a warming grate above the fireplace that compliments the propane central heating system. The front door leads into the house through a west facing ceramic-tiled floor sunroom that can be home to thriving plants and afternoon sunsets-through-the-trees. Most of the walls and ceilings throughout are painted redwood paneling except in the primary bathroom where the original polished redwood paneling, ceramic tile, and period fixtures are both functional and evocative of 1940's glamour. Storage includes large closets in each of the 3 bedrooms, plus closets, cabinets and drawers built in throughout the house. In the remodeled kitchen there are plenty of cabinets and drawers with modern pull-out trays. The large eat-in kitchen with a southern and western exposure provides a bright airy nature to enjoy all day, and is fully equipped with a 5-burner gas stove with 2 electric ovens. A redwood deck on the south side of the kitchen, large enough to accommodate comfortable dining, birdwatching, or admiring the view of tall redwoods growing up from the banks of Beal Creek, whose rushing waters can be heard as it passes through this section of Van Damme State Park on its way to join Little River and the ocean. The large redwood hot tub deck with surrounding privacy fence and adjacent shower has been serviced recently and has new heater, electrical panel, and cover. Property has a 2-car garage with a plank floor and new roof, that also houses the ozone and UV water units and could easily be equipped with an electric vehicle charging station. Near the garage is a 3500-gallon water storage tank outfitted with a capacity indicator visible from the house. The tall trees around this home on three sides are close enough to offer an amazing view yet far enough from the house so that there is light from all sides on sunny days. A charming mixture of privacy, modern comforts and authentic period design in a wonderful location make this unique house a welcoming home.
