Timeless California Ocean Front US$4,250,000

One of only a dusting of properties in Bolinas with private beach access, 49 Terrace is glorious and humble. 

This surf home is in a gorgeous setting and has a relaxed, down to earth and charming feel. The property has massive views from every window facing the ocean.  The sun will rise through and above the commanding Monterey Cypress trees and sets over Duxbury Reef where you can watch the tides change all day long, a paradise for barefoot kids.  

Be breathless, decompress, ease through the home which also offers a detached master suite for guests and separate downstairs apartment living.  

The authentic features of the house remain though having had a recent makeover.  This property has innate goodness. 

The microcosm of the property is the living room, yet each room has its own classic vintage elements and intimacy. A compound above the sea connecting nature and the ocean, there’s no avoiding a full living feeling
