This property is the quintessential Goldilocks home! It is in a fairy tale setting and feels like living in a tree house amongst a cathedral of Redwoods. Every room is just right, not too cold or too hot, not too large or too small. Initially built in 1936, this house has been lovingly updated. Some highlights are brand new roof, extensive foundation work, extensive retaining wall work, and a Tesla wall! Head to downtown Ben Lomond, which has many entertainment options. This home offers a spacious open deck for entertaining amidst nature. Inside, skylights flood the space with natural light, enhancing the cozy ambiance of the river rock fireplace with a wood-burning insert. The living room and bedrooms feature durable hardwood/bamboo flooring. There is a laundry/utility room which includes a washer/dryer. The bathroom has a warm feeling, beautiful earthy tones, a tasteful choice of tile, and an original redwood interior with a walk-in shower. There is ample parking in the driveway, with space for 4-5 cars or an oversized RV/trailer, plus additional off-street parking. A 15x17 workshop and an 8x8 shed offer extra storage and workspace. Look under the house at the lower level - this could be made into even more storage. Explore the extensive trails on the almost half an acre lot.
