Two homes, two tributes to style and architecture located on one parcel in the Village of Mendocino. Both well-maintained residences have been completely and stunningly remodeled. The main home is a two-story contemporary farmhouse with hardwood maple flooring throughout. The reverse floorplan of this structure puts the spacious great room with kitchen, dining and lounging space on the upper level. A stunning vaulted Redwood ceiling and beams and loads of windows frame spectacular 180-degree views of the ocean and headlands. Transitioning from the upper floor via a unique, custom wood staircase, the first floor features a master with an ensuite bath, 2 additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a laundry room. The adjacent 2nd residence is a gorgeous craftsman bungalow showcasing hardwood floors, built-ins, beadboard ceilings, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a den (currently being used as a bedroom). Rounding out this rare offering is a barn-style, two-car garage; and a separate shack that awaits your vision. The property is visually and physically integrated by full perimeter fencing, landscaping and the complimentary use of exterior colors. Located at the east edge of the town, the entire village of Mendocino is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Vibrant and introspective at the same time, the Village offers a fabulous mix of restaurants, galleries and boutiques catering to locals and visitors alike. Outdoor activities are steps from your front door courtesy of the Headlands Trail, a series of interconnected winding pathways that wrap around the Village and offer direct access to a number of secluded beaches. Heading north from the property, you will find pelicans and cormorants on the rocks, and the Point Cabrillo lighthouse in the distance. But you may decide, instead, to take advantage of the quiet enjoyment of your home - sitting out in the open air on the porch or the deck, feeling the breeze and listening to nothing but nature; watching the morning fog as it lifts off the mountains to the east; looking out the windows at the gorgeous southern ocean views; and watching the migrating whales breach just offshore. No power lines; crisp, cool air; hawks, kites and songbirds; so many wildflowers each spring; performances and exhibits at the Mendocino Art Center just a couple of blocks away; the ebb and flow of the tides and the song of the waves.
