Step back in time to discover this meticulously restored Victorian home, originally built in 1862 by Master Ship Builder Thomas Petersen. This beauty is a rare fusion of historical elegance combined with modern luxury. Nestled above Van Damme Bay, with direct trail access to the cove below, you will be awed by the stunning white-water views to the south. Bordered to the North by access that leads to the Spring Ranch Coastal Preserve. The kitchen (which fills the first floor of the turret) features an over-sized granite island and modern appliances. When you enter the living room, you are greeted with solid maple wood flooring. Ascend to the 2nd floor on the beautiful all-wood, staircase hand-milled from the property’s own Cypress trees. The upstairs bath fills the top level of the home’s turret and features dual sinks, cabinetry and granite countertops. The spacious primary bedroom is the crowning glory of this home. There you will enjoy stunning whitewater views from a king-sized bed, as well as from the balcony. Behind this gem, is a detached two-car garage with an unfinished ‘Casita’ space above. This building also has a fully functional bathroom and an additional laundry facility. The property was previously run as a successful Vacation Rental for those looking for an investment property. It consistently generated between $65,000-$85,000 annually. Sold furnished minus a few sentimental pieces.
