Ideally situated for enjoying the best of the coast and outdoors, this home is just two blocks from Holmes Park, with convenient access to kayak and boat launching on Devils Lake. The nearby Friends of Wildwoods entrance provides easy access to protected natural open space and miles of peaceful surroundings.
The ocean is only a couple of minutes away by car-and close enough to hear the surf from home. The property also offers convenient access to Highway 101, putting shopping, dining, and other amenities within easy reach while remaining far enough from the highway to enjoy a quieter setting without the sound of traffic.
The fully fenced backyard backs directly to protected open space, creating a sense of privacy and connection to nature that is difficult to find. Mature native landscaping, raised garden beds, and a water feature enhance the outdoor setting. The patio and fire pit provide inviting spaces for outdoor entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Wildlife viewing, the sound of the ocean, and the natural landscape are all part of the experience. The sunroom features large windows overlooking the backyard, offering a comfortable space to enjoy the surrounding landscape year-round. It provides a wonderful connection to the outdoors even on rainy coastal days.
The spacious front porch adds another inviting outdoor living area and offers an enjoyable vantage point for watching neighborhood activity and local wildlife, including deer. Large living room windows capture views of the Coast Range foothills, bringing the surrounding landscape into the home and adding to its sense of place.
The home retains a distinctive cottage character and period-inspired details, including a stained-glass front door, antique doorbell, parquet flooring, and checkerboard floors. These features give the property a warm, individual personality while providing a foundation for thoughtful updates.
A large attic provides substantial storage and offers potential for future additional living space, subject to buyer investigation and applicable requirements. The open kitchen and dining area provides a flexible layout with an opportunity to create a more contemporary dream kitchen while maintaining the home's existing charm.
A dedicated mudroom/laundry room provides an especially useful transition space for coastal living-ideal for storing outdoor gear and dealing with sand, dirt, wet clothing, and muddy shoes after beach, lake, or hiking adventures. A distinctive coastal property offering privacy, natural beauty, convenient access to recreation, and plenty of character-with opportunities to personalize and add value over time.
