8 Ocean Avenue, Bolinas, CA 94924 - Marin County

Pacific Bolinas, otherwise known as 8 Ocean Avenue, is a singular master-crafted architectural marvel that opens up to the ocean. Atop a nestled bluff, sheltered from the wind, on private acreage, rests this sublime Pacific sanctuary. The interior details are constructed with black walnut, cypress, teak, and timbered driftwood collected from the Gualala River by legendary Bolinas craftsmen and Sausalito Gate 5 boat builders. With the vibrant Duxbury reef below and the views of Bolinas Beach, Stinson Beach and San Francisco just across the bay, this Bolinas refuge is truly a treasure. Minutes from the charming downtown, though totally private, and just an hour from San Francisco, you can enjoy a perfect life balance. 2 dedicated bedrooms, 4 baths and multiple open concept rooms spread across 3 stories with a standalone detached studio, a separate bath, and hot tub overlooking the ocean. The main floor is open concept, featuring a heated indoor lap swimming pool lined with 65 feet of sliding floor-to-ceiling windows, a retractable foot bridge and radiant heat floors, a Swedish wood stove, and stonework from a celebrated local mason. The primary bedroom exhibits stunning ocean views, a private atrium bath, and an extraordinary custom cypress walk-in closet with built in vanity and rotational copper lifts for clothing. Atop the primary bedroom is a lofted crows nest music or reading room, with a constellation rooftop deck above. Off the kitchen, in the other wing, is an upstairs bedroom and a bath, with a beckoning hand-hewn teak sauna and serene office. The lower downstairs is a large open space with its own entrance, beautiful built-in custom cabinetry, a wine cellar, a full bath and an outdoor shower. Surrounded by enthusiastic perennial native gardens is a viewing deck, and a hot tub. Part of the garden sits a versatile standalone unit, currently being used as a yoga studio. With ocean views from nearly every room and a storied local history, the craftsmanship thought and care in this indoor/outdoor vision have to be experienced in person, alongside the daily gift of living with the ocean. A deep and soothing Pacific calm that washes over you.
