18961 Symes Lane

Set behind a grove of mature redwoods with a peek-a-boo view of the Pacific, this Fort Bragg cottage offers a setting that feels distinctly Mendocino Coast. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features a warm and inviting interior with sunny bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled bathroom complete with a quartz-topped vanity, tiled shower, and durable laminate flooring. 2 custom stained glass window panels add personality. Creative spirits, hobbyists, and gardeners will appreciate the abundance of workshop and storage space. The spacious basement includes long work tables ready for woodworking, art projects, and other hands-on pursuits. Outbuildings provide exceptional flexibility and include a detached two-car garage, a separate storage building, drive-through carport, petite greenhouse, and an additional standalone storage shed. The fenced backyard is both productive and inviting, with a sweet mini orchard producing seasonal plums, apples, and berries, along with raised garden beds for vegetables and herbs. A patio seating area offers a comfortable place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the coastal surroundings. Recent improvements add comfort and peace of mind, including a new roof (2023), updated PEX plumbing throughout (2022), a tankless propane water heater (2022), gas and electrical hookups for a propane generator, expanded water storage capacity from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons, a new privacy fence, and fresh interior paint. Evening light filtering through the redwoods, fresh fruit from the garden, and glimpses of the Pacific beyond create a setting that makes this vintage Fort Bragg cottage feel both practical and deeply connected to the natural beauty of the coast.
