A truly unique mid-century gem, this Eichler-inspired 4-bedroom, 3-bath home was designed by the original owner and built in 1958. A long, private driveway leads to the home, which is nestled below street level, but perched high above a tree-lined canyon in the dramatic Beverly Terrace neighborhood of San Carlos. A water feature sits next to a two-car carport, and a stone path winds its way through the lovely front garden to the main entrance. A substantial, custom-made front door opens to the main living spaces, a family room with a wood-burning stove to the right, and an open concept living/dining room to the left. Both rooms boast high ceilings and gorgeous natural light. The living/dining room takes full advantage of the amazing views with an entire wall of windows, begging for nights spent inside in front of the wood burning fireplace, gazing at the twinkling of lights from houses below and the stars above. Beautiful open-beam wood ceilings, cork floors with radiant heat, and the thoughtful use of natural materials throughout create a fulfilling sense of warmth and comfort and a connection to nature outside. The kitchen is furnished with clean and modern stained-wood cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. A hall leads from the kitchen to the first of two bathrooms, then to three bedrooms with large closets and the second, recently renovated second bathroom on the first floor. The primary suite comprises the second story of the home, with a spacious bathroom with a doorless shower and soaking tub. With large closets in all the bedrooms, built-in shed space lining the outdoor breezeway, storage will never be an issue. And speaking of outside, it only gets better. A second path diverges from the main entrance and winds along the side of the house, where a massive double-level deck with built-in seating and a windowed gazebo almost floats above the trees below. In your perch on the deck high above the canyon, shaded by the large Deodar Cedar, admiring hummingbirds feeding near the deck or hawks circling high over the trees, you will experience a special connection to nature.  This property is truly a rare find.
