From the agent: "Pacific Bolinas, otherwise known as 8 Ocean Avenue, is a singular master-crafted architectural marvel that opens up to the ocean. Atop a nestled bluff, sheltered from the wind, on private acreage, rests this sublime Pacific sanctuary. The interior details are constructed with black walnut, cypress, teak, and timbered driftwood collected from the Gualala River by legendary Bolinas craftsmen and Sausalito Gate 5 boat builders. With the vibrant Duxbury reef below and the views of Bolinas Beach, Stinson Beach and San Francisco just across the bay, this Bolinas refuge is truly a treasure."
The home’s indoor/outdoor design is apparent at its entrance, where a wooden gate opens to an expansive garden set just steps from the primary living spaces.
The 1958 residence features a trove of circa-period details, including the original wooden beams lining the kitchen and dining area.
In addition to framing sweeping ocean views, the primary bedroom also exhibits a private atrium bath, and a custom walk-in closet with a built-in vanity and rotational copper lifts for clothing.
A hand-hewn teak sauna can be found down the hall from the home office on the upper level.
Atop one of the bedrooms is a constellation rooftop deck that overlooks the California coast.
8 Ocean Avenue, in Bolinas, California, is currently listed for $4,995,000 by Cristina di Grazia of the Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty.
