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.
