Property Description
Overlooking Mount Tamalpais and Stinson Beach, this 1928 cedar-shake home offers a rare opportunity. Reimagined for modern coastal living, the design marries the romance of a bygone era with thoughtful updates- features throughout the house were commissioned and crafted by local Bolinas artisans. Just a short walk to the beach and downtown Bolinas, a quiet, quirky fishing village, where music and art still exist, and traditions and community are still celebrated.
Mornings unfold with a cup of coffee on the deck as the sun gently rises over Mount Tam. Afternoons drift effortlessly between surfing, hiking, or simply basking in the rhythm of ocean waves. As evening falls, enjoy quiet moments by the crackling fire or soaking under a canopy of stars.
The heart of the home is an airy, view two-story living room, anchored by a dramatic, Louise Nevelson-inspired fireplace that serves as a centerpiece for gatherings and daily life. Sunlight floods the space, highlighting the warmth of the wood floors and the timeless beauty of the French doors, as well as the architecture that speaks for itself. The adjoining sun-filled kitchen features marble countertops and a breakfast bar, perfect for everyday meals and festive gatherings. A vintage 1934 Chambers stove and a Sub-Zero refrigerator anchor the kitchen. The dining room, which seats 10, opens to the garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor dining.
Upstairs, two dreamy bedrooms open to private balconies with ocean and garden views, where the ocean breeze drifts in, offering tranquil retreats for rest and reflection. The original clawfoot tub invites you to slow down, hop in, and take a moment.
Downstairs, the spacious family room is dressed with a hand-forged steel gas fireplace and a wall of French doors open to a Japanese cedar soaking tub and outdoor shower. A whimsical bunkroom with six built-in beds creates a retreat that delights both children and adults. A playful space with two double trough sinks and steel lockers adds charm and function. The unique bathroom is fitted with two stall showers complete with brass portholes that look out onto the deck, a toilet, and a surprise fixture.
The entry garden, framed by a rose-covered fence, opens onto a deck with a stone wood-burning fireplace. The deck off the living room showcases captivating views of Stinson Beach and Mount Tam. A Carrera marble countertop extends out from the kitchen, joining the outdoor space- a great place for shucking oysters! The deck off the dining room and kitchen overlooks the gardens and is an ideal setting for al fresco dining. The lower deck off the family room provides a private retreat with a soaking tub. An outdoor shower and surfboard rack add convenience for a day at the beach. The English garden and an organic vegetable patch offer beauty, bounty, and tranquility at every turn.
Systems include a permitted deep-pier foundation, state-of-the-art septic system, propane heating, Sonos sound system, and high-speed internet. Appliances include a Meile washer and dryer, a Uline Icemaker, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
Town pleasures include: Smiley’s Saloon ( one of the oldest saloons in California), Bolinas Museum, Coast Cafe, an old-fashioned hardware store, Community Center, and library. Close to Stinson Beach, Pt Reyes Station, Pt Reyes National Seashore, Agate Beach's tide pools, Tamales Bay, and Marshall’s oyster farms.
33 Ocean Avenue is more than a residence—it’s a sanctuary, a gathering place, and a frontrow seat to the romance and timeless beauty of the Northern California coast. A rare jewel indeed!
