44771 Crestwood Drive, Mendocino, CA 95460

Set atop a grand vista point, with a stunning panoramic view of Big River Beach, Mendocino Bay, and the historic landmark village of Mendocino, this Greene and Greene-inspired Arts and Crafts style home, has long been regarded as the Crown Jewel of Mendocino. Built from sturdy old-growth redwood indigenous to the region, this home has been lovingly maintained and improved upon by its current long-time residents of 25 years. Offering a rare blend of tranquility and modern convenience, the property is but a moment's drive, bike ride, or stroll to local beaches, kayaking, hiking trails, dining, groceries, boutiques, and art galleries. Wrap-around windows and expansive, multi-level decks run the western expanse of the house, opening onto a breathtaking 180-degree view shed. Mornings here are ideal for sunrises and birdwatching. All day, one can watch the ever-changing marine layer and weather systems arrive on the horizon. Evenings offer a kaleidoscope of sunsets over the ocean, star gazing and moonlight glittering off the nearby waves. The main entry to this home opens to the ocean view kitchen, dining, and living areas bathed in warm natural light and accented with high ceilings, rich old growth beams, and art nouveau inspired figurehead corbels. The gourmet kitchen has a Viking range, electric oven, cherry cabinetry with a spacious refrigerator, granite countertops, dining bar, and a wood-burning fireplace with an artisan copper surround. The dining area flows to the north of the kitchen, the skylit living room to the east, where there is an additional wood-burning stove. Ad
