About This Home

As of December 2025

Ideal canyon retreat for one or two - Contemporary treehouse retreat in Fernwood with sweeping cross-canyon and mountain views. Designed to blur indoor and outdoor living, the home spans three levels with expansive glass walls, ocean breezes, and abundant natural light. On the main floor, a spacious living area, dining room, den, and kitchen orient to the canyon. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and a private deck off the living room captures the views. Upstairs, a lofted office, generous closets, a bedroom, and a bath sit at canopy level, framed by sunlight and treetops. At the entry, a rooftop deck by the carport offers 180-degree canyon panoramas. The ground level adds a secluded hot tub, outdoor shower, and an enclosed flex space ideal for a workshop or studio. Built in 1987 and updated with modern appliances, lush landscaping, motorized solar shades, and split-system AC for year-round comfort and convenience. Tucked near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in climate-perfect Fernwood. Private and tranquil, yet a short drive to PCH and the center of town. Suitable for one person or a couple. A special place where tranquility, style, and convenience are held in one peaceful place.
