Near the end of a quiet lane along Manzanita Bay, this waterfront home feels gently removed—wrapped in a rare sense of stillness where the water sets the pace. Westerly light drifts across the bay each evening, deepening into rich hues as the sun lowers beyond the horizon. Perched on a perfectly balanced medium bank, the home offers both an elevated outlook and easy access to the shoreline. A private deep-water dock, with water and shore power, can accommodate a vessel over 45 feet, inviting spontaneous days on the water. Closer to shore, the bay remains calm and quietly alive. Stout stairs lead to 82 feet of bulkheaded beachfront, where fires glow at dusk, kayaks launch at first light, and a cabana becomes a natural gathering place for fresh catches, conversation, and music by the tide. Inside, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows draw in light and landscape. Remodeled throughout, new hardwoods and a refined palette create warmth, while the kitchen’s clean lines and bright surfaces reflect the greenery and water beyond. The living and dining areas gather around a classic brick fireplace, extending to Ipe decking along the water—perfect for dining or unwinding at sunset. The primary suite offers a private retreat with deck access and a spa-like bath. Flexible spaces, a lower-level living area, dedicated office, and generous garage add ease to daily living. Quietly extraordinary, this is a home where life moves in rhythm with the bay.
