Experience the enchanting charm of "Pook's Hill," a historic 1921 home nestled in the heart of the redwoods. This meticulously preserved gem boasts bamboo floors, hickory kitchen furnishings, and exposed beams, maintaining its character while embracing modern amenities. Named after a character in a Rudyard Kipling book, the home has a rich history, including as a summer retreat for women of San Francisco. The versatile layout offers spaces for offices, workshops, and guests. Storage is available in the shed and basement, while a basement suite provides guest privacy. Surrounded by lush oak, madrone, redwood, and bay trees, this haven offers privacy and the feeling of living in a treehouse. Cozy winter nights by the wood-burning stove and summer weekends tending to fruit trees and vegetable and herb gardens ensure all-season enjoyment. Located in the vibrant Ben Lomond community for easy access to restaurants, shops, and the countless hiking trails of nearby state parks.
