Nestled among the Cambria pines, this A-frame cottage is a true sanctuary—a perfect blend of harmony, texture, and light. Every window frames a view of verdant pine trees, creating a sense of complete privacy, with not another home in sight. The charm of this cottage lies in its thoughtful details: a seamless mix of wood and tile floors, wood-paneled walls—some painted white to enhance the cozy cottage feel—and vintage chandeliers that cast a warm glow throughout. The open-concept living area is anchored by a large west-facing window, inviting the golden hues of the afternoon sun to fill the space. A half-wall subtly separates the living and dining areas from the kitchen, where white tile with blue accents and wood-and-glass cabinetry evoke the serenity of the Swedish countryside. The main-level bedroom features a generous walk-in closet and a private view deck, while another deck off the living area offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by mature landscaping. From this deck, a staircase leads to the upper floor, which comprises a sitting area, bedroom, and bathroom. The sloped wood walls and west-facing picture window at the peak of the A-frame make this an inspiring and self-contained space, complete with its own entrance at the top of the deck. At the entry level, a spacious bonus or family room welcomes natural light through multiple windows and a French door. This versatile room includes two closets—one housing the laundry facilities—and provides ample space for work, relaxation, or guests. Set on four oversized, private lots, this sale includes the cottage’s charming furnishings and a coveted Vacation Rental License. Recent updates include a new roof and full termite treatment. Two freestanding fireplaces add both character and warmth, while the location—just a short walk to the Fiscalini Ranch trailhead and dog park—makes it an ideal retreat for nature lovers. Explore the included floor plan and two 360° virtual tours to truly appreciate the inviting spirit of this Cambria treasure.
