Inspired by Architect Bernard Maybeck renowned for Arts & Crafts movement in the early 1920s, meticulously built home by contractor Mark Holmes and strategically placed on the lot to maximize the sweeping, panoramic views of OB village, whitewater view north of the Pacific coastline, to the PB north shore/LJ south shore. This 3-bedroom, 3 bath home exudes an emotional chemistry. Original home built in 1928 and seamlessly expanded and completed (according to permit records) in 2000. Current owners have lovingly maintained this jewel. Sentimentally called the Pine House with the imposing and robust Torrey pine tree, enter this home and you are overwhelmed by the beauty of the property setting and building materials used. Note the lovely Brazilian cherry wood floors and the grand light filled rooms and open floor plan. Prominent and unique rock fireplace (with gas started) in living room with seating alcove to take in the gorgeous whitewater coastal views from OB village to La Jolla south shore. Box beamed ceilings in dining room with custom cherry wood built-in sideboard. Kitchen has double convection oven, wonderful counter space & loads of cabinetry for storage. Main floor guest bedroom has lovely window seat to gaze out to the backyard garden. As you ascend the stairs to the master the views get even better. Top floor is a wonderful kids paradise with loads of storage closets and beautiful views. Above the garage is an artist studio/office with its own wood-burning fireplace
