Elements throughout the house reflect an artists eye. The open beam, knotty pine ceiling in the master bedroom with redwood beams, the limestone slab basalt sink in the bathroom, clear heart redwood framing the front door and windows are a few of the delights. The craftsmanship shows in the fireplace framed in quartz tile with a custom burl mantel. Radiant floor heating provides a cozy feel for this intimate and soulful home. Unexpected accents include wrought iron rails and rustic door hardware. There are Birdseye Maple cabinets in the living room where lovely French doors open to an approximate 1,000 foot deck around the home. An appreciation for nature is evident under the old redwoods, by the stream. There is a large storage shed. Also a workshop with shear wall construction, measuring 12X13 with 10 foot ceilings, LED recessed lighting, workbenches and skylight. The mutual well water may be the best water you can find. A sanctuary in the woods and only 7 minutes to the beach!
