6440 Cambria Pines Road

A Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired retreat on one flat acre in Leimert Estates. This single-level, craftsman prairie-style home sits within Cambria's rare Monterey pine forest, one of only three native stands left in California, yet just minutes from the ocean. Low horizontal lines, hip roofs, rough-sawn shingles and grouped windows over sand-colored plaster let it settle naturally into the trees. Fresh sea air, towering pines and visiting wildlife make this coastal forest living at its most peaceful. The thoughtfully designed layout has no steps anywhere: 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths, plus an office/den for working from home. Life centers on the open family room and kitchen, where an Xtrordinair wood-burning fireplace with an ornate wood mantel and built-ins sits beneath a vaulted ceiling. Engineered wood floors flow throughout, while skylights and Kolbe wood windows fill the home with natural light. The kitchen has a Viking gas range and hood, limestone counters and a center island with bar seating, and there's a formal dining room for holidays and gatherings. Step outside to the central patio with a built-in BBQ and fire pit for long Cambria evenings. Extras include a whole house generator, a subterranean wine cellar, a 2,500-gallon water storage tank with fully automated sprinklers, and a wildlife water feeder where deer and birds stop by. Come tour this idyllic home and prepare to fall in love!
