5670 Moonstone Beach Drive, Cambria, CA 93428 : Cambria Real Estate

Watch the ball of the sun go into the ocean across the street from your property, overlooking Santa Rosa State Park which is between you and the Pacific Ocean, while sipping on a glass of wine or a beautifully brewed coffee or tea! The house was built by a local craftsman who wanted to bring Big Sur ideas into the house. Mr. Owner was a semi-famous Hollywood actor who starred in movies such as Some Like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe and on the On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando (Marlon's cab driver). And who can forget his performance as the starring actor in a Gilligan's Island episode. He was a shipwrecked South American dictator, who somehow got off the island at the end of the show, leaving the castaways behind. The house is virtually single level living once you get upstairs, with just two steps here and there. (The chair lift located from the garage to the house can remain or can be removed and donated to charity.) The west-facing orientation not only has views of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful state park, but will also be pleasing at night when the twinkling lights of Park Hill come out. The large primary bedroom has an area for a small office, its own fireplace, and a large bathroom with a separate tub and shower, and a large walk-in closet. The kitchen uses space efficiently, allowing for easier food prep and dish cleanup. Down below is a two car garage with extra space for the washer and dryer, a workshop area and a storage closet. There are two other rooms accessed from the driveway. The sellers used one room for art and one room for rocks. Options abound!
