About This Home
As of September 2021Updated cabin-style home in sunny back of Montara with both ocean and mountain views from the large entertaining-sized back deck. Located on a quiet street around the corner from miles of hiking trails, 2-story vaulted wood beam ceiling brings character and a great classic and open feel. The kitchen is efficient and high-quality with special design elements such as stainless walls and backsplash, a pot filler, 6-burner chefs range, and a gorgeous slate floor. The updated bathroom is outfitted with Restoration Hardware fixtures and a deep soaker tub, along with built-in storage. There are hardwood floors on the main level and stairs. The freshly carpeted loft, with 2 large view windows, can be a bedroom, office, or hobby room. The two-car attached garage provides easy access from the front to back yards, and into the home and kitchen. This is a great location for living a serene lifestyle near open space, community, and a local coffee shop.
