30 Terrace AvenueBolinas, CA 94924Price: $4,750,000

This is the private Pacific Ocean Sanctuary you have been waiting for. Like stepping into a novel of an elegant era. This place is surreal and it's spectacular. It is private, soulful, and quietly extraordinary. The craftsmanship of carpentry and structural integrity is reflective of a Maybeck design where no expense was spared. The home was built in the 30's by a famed structural engineering family and it shows. You can literally see how well this was built with high, open-beam ceilings, a massive foundation, and artisanal details. The home encompasses a double lot in an elevated setting of rugged coastline, soft light, weathered beauty, and a rare sense of place. The home features 4 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths with a flexible ground-floor den, exercise or guest room. Panoramic ocean views, breaching whales. The enclosed and gated private hummingbird gardens enhance the natural setting, yet it is conveniently just a short walk to town and steps to the beach. Perched on the hill, the house opens to panoramic views through every window. The owners could have bought any Bolinas home over 30 years ago, but only this one checked ALL the boxes: privacy, character, history, views, land, and proximity to the beach, yet completely removed from the noise of the world. The intimate experience transports you. You arrive and immediately feel a slower pace and the pure ocean air. Lovingly updated, the home preserves the grace and romance that make it so special. Charming, not precious, elegant yet casual, deeply comfortable as only authentic homes can be. Each room feels connected to story, craft, and setting - nothing feels generic or ordinary. Spend quiet mornings with coffee and the sound of the ocean. Release your inner chef in the large eat-in kitchen with its cozy wood-burning stove. A dinner table filled with family or friends. A writing room with a view. A garden path. A BBQ al fresco. A beach walk at the end of the day. A home that allows you to disappear, create, gather, restore, and live beautifully on your own terms. A fairytale coastal retreat. Private, poetic, updated, and unforgettable. A classic grand coastal home with pedigree.
