5340 Guildford Drive, Cambria, CA 93428 : Cambria Real Estate

Uniquely situated at the very beginning of the ridge that separates the town of Cambria from the Pacific Ocean, this three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath beauty has 180° views, from the Fiscalini Ranch to the southeast all the way to the Piedras Blancas lighthouse to the northwest. One of the best parts of the house is that you feel like you are sitting in a treehouse, as there are very few nearby neighbors in any of the views. The views are mostly of the ocean, the mountains, town and the Fiscalini Ranch. There is a GREAT great room in the middle of the house with 14-foot ceilings. The large kitchen has a long, inviting breakfast bar where family and friends gather. The kitchen flows out to the dining area and living space. (You will see what we mean by a “GREAT great room” when you get here!) The living room includes a gas fireplace that can heat both upper levels, and an east-facing deck that looks down into town and out to the Santa Lucia mountains. The master bedroom is upstairs, and has beautiful views of the ocean and the start of Big Sur to the north. There’s a north-facing deck off this room that has even better views! Leave the windows open and you can fall asleep listening to the waves at night. The master bathroom has been remodeled both thoughtfully and artistically, and anyone who likes bathrooms will like this one! Also upstairs is a half bath and an office space from which the owners have seen the Green Flash multiple times! There are two guestrooms downstairs and a full bathroom in between. Inside this bathroom is a sauna that is perfect for either one or two people. The home has been owned for the last 17 years by a craftsman General Contractor and a perfectionist spouse, and the attention to detail is amazing. Bamboo floors, crown molding and baseboards, wood framed windows and doors…and you should see all the decking that he has recently replaced! The two-car garage, along with many other spaces in the house, offer plenty of storage space. The kicker…it is a Licensed Vacation Rental!
