215 Belvedere AVE Stinson Beach, CA 94970

Set within Stinson Beach Highlands, 215 Belvedere is nestled among a network of trails that wind through dense trees to sea-facing ridgelines. Private in its setting, it offers a place of respite and quietude. Daily life is shaped by the surrounding landscape, with Mount Tamalpais views, rooms soaked in sunlight, and evenings accompanied by the sound of the ocean. This is a contemplative space for those who value thoughtful design, embrace light, and feel drawn to mountainous landscapes and a beach lifestyle alike. Timeless in its coastal aesthetic, the updated interior reflects a sensibility that is both sophisticated and relaxed. With consistent architectural choices in material and layout, the home balances artistic simplicity and craftsmanship. The open kitchen and living room reflect a minimal aesthetic, featuring custom cabinetry, integrated storage and shelving systems, stainless steel work surfaces, a tambour appliance garage, and a hand-honed granite island. A built-in window nook adds warmth at the heart of the home. The main living room area is calm and gallery-like yet inviting, with natural light streaming in throughout the day. Oak hardwood floors extend throughout, along with two radiant heating systems. The floor plan is arranged around a central foyer, with the living room, kitchen, and gathering spaces on one side and a staircase leading to the primary suite above. The opposite wing offers two bedrooms and a shared bath. Ascending the staircase, the upper level opens to a curved band of windows, a Pacific Ocean view, a FireOrb floating fireplace, a built-in draftsperson's desk, custom flat files, and elevated seating with mountain views. Custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, an adjoining walk-in closet, and an incognito laundry closet provide generous storage while maintaining the home's clean lines. The primary bathroom features eucalyptus cabinetry and Dornbracht fixtures. The shared bathroom serving the two-bedroom wing includes cherry wood cabinetry and Axiom fixtures. The backyard extends from both the living room and foyer to a sun-drenched deck. The fenced garden is framed by a mature maple tree, flowering camellias, and fruit trees including apple and lemon. Beyond is a hot spa with a surrounding deck and views up to the mountain ridgeline. Tucked away is a detached 7' x 9' cedar structure suited as a studio space. 215 Belvedere exudes confident originality and welcome calm, providing a combined sense of inspiration and solace.
