The Crown Jewel of the Mendocino Coast
524 Stewart Street, the historic Weller House estate, is a unique coastal retreat complete with stunning ballroom and a water tower, the high point in town, overlooking ocean and coastal trails.
The Victorian Italianate house exhibits a century of skilled craftsmanship, and careful renovation incorporates modern plumbing with radiant floor heat. Nine bedrooms and bathrooms include a guest half bath with original double bowl marble sink and elephant’s head toilet, convenient to the ballroom. With a separate studio in the Victorian Gothic west wing, the oldest house in town, and 4 stories of independent water tower studios (all rented with month-to-month leases), bedrooms and bathrooms total 14.
The entry porch welcomes you into a capacious hall, breakfast room, and library/dining room. The large kitchen with butler’s pantry makes this an excellent home for entertaining, with back porch handy for arranging flowers or kitchen garden harvest. Bonus rooms and fireplaces add cozy variety.
The entire third floor is a ballroom of virgin redwood with 15 foot ceilings, phenomenal acoustics and the best dance floor on the coast. A fireplace of rare curly redwood shimmers in the light of the hand-forged bronze chandelier. West windows take in sunsets over the ocean, and French doors to the east access a balcony nestled over a magnificent specimen of fragrant flowering New Zealand palm. Exterior stairs lead to the gardens and private parking.
Edwardian gardens display a variety of heirloom fruit trees, roses, lavenders. Lush shrubbery encloses the front lawn, large enough for badminton, croquet, or wedding parties with 200 guests. Tall hedges of Portuguese Laurel and rare Camellias let the private drive become an enormous al fresco dining hall. A fire pit between east porch and lawn is the focus for informal barbecues. The garage and a boathouse include laundry rooms and workshops, with extra storage in pump house and the tower shed by the Japanese courtyard.
Watch for whales from the top of the tower, walk to world-famous Glass Beach. Enjoy downtown Fort Bragg shops, dining, breweries and cafés, just steps away from the quiet country world of this hidden gem.
