About this House

Tucked into a magical setting, this French-inspired retreat is a rare, fully reimagined property blending old-world charm with exceptional craftsmanship and modern amenities. Thoughtfully redesigned by Hall Pardoe Design, the home evokes French countryside romance while offering today’s comforts, all within a private, multi-lot sanctuary in Cambria. The main house and cottage have been comprehensively upgraded, beginning with essential structural and exterior improvements, including regraded drainage, new metal roofs, and re-stuccoed exteriors with integrated color for lasting beauty without repainting. Fresh interior and exterior paint throughout enhances every space, while new French doors in the dining room open to expansive IPE decks off the dining room, guest bedroom, and primary suite—ideal for morning coffee, sunset dining, and peaceful outdoor living. Inside, the home has been opened and refined with intention. The remodeled and extended kitchen, updated bathrooms, and newly opened wall between the living and dining rooms enhance light and flow. All drywall in both structures has been resurfaced and retextured; doors, woodwork, and floors have been stripped, bleached, custom-stained, and refinished for a cohesive, artisanal feel. Vaulted cedar ceilings crown the living room, library/TV room, primary suite, bath, and closets, with walk-in closets in both the guest and primary bedrooms. Finishing details include custom oil-rubbed Reggio floor registers and Rejuvenation push-button dimmers with antique bronze plates. Modern infrastructure discreetly supports the romance, including reworked electrical systems, a relocated exterior panel, new kitchen sub-panel, Navien tankless water heater, soft water system, and dedicated mechanical and internet hub. Additional upgrades include air conditioning and updated heating in the main house, gas heat in the cottage, reverse osmosis filtration, new washer and dryer, and gas lines to an exterior fire table and barbecue.

    "My parents bought in Cambria in 1977 and I love this neighborhood! You are so close to the ocean, to Cambria's West Village, to Moonstone Beach boardwalk and the Fiscalini Ranch which is a great place to walk, hike or bike! Beautiful ocean and coastal views. Lovely climate!"

    "We have stayed here, vacationed here, and love it. Maybe couples in the 30's need a bigger night life, but beyond that, it's a beautiful place to live and enjoy life. Get away from it all. The best restaurants, shopping, farmer's market, car shows, wineries, NICE people because they love where they live. Seacllift Estates is a beautiful area in Cambria......open, private, and the ocean right there. Didn't know how to rate traffic above, because there is NO TRAFFIC..... "

    "the natural beauty in Cambria is truly stunning! it is a very protected environment with regard to it's wilderness, including the oceans and shorelines. it is an incredibly family friendly and community oriented. both east and west villiages, as well as Moonstone beach, are the perfect definition of quaint and lovely. and residents are welcoming to new people who move there, as long as they are conscious to be respectful of both people and the natural environment. it's good for singles who don't want a lot of nightlife and choose a more quiet, artistic, farmer's market, and charming town to call home. we lived there and loved it. we even got married there. i worked in Cambria as the managing innkeeper for a historic bed and breakfast. we are moving back as soon as we can."
