Welcome to 5250 Guildford, a tranquil coastal retreat in Cambria’s desirable Park Hill neighborhood.
Nestled in California’s scenic Central Coast, this thoughtfully designed home blends coastal charm, natural beauty, and modern comfort. Ideally situated on the ocean side of Highway 1, the Guildford House offers a lifestyle immersed in art, nature, and community. Just a short way to Moonstone Beach and Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, enjoy the coastal trails or evenings under the stars, listening to the waves. Positioned at the gateway to Big Sur, this home is a haven for nature lovers, surfers, and those drawn to Cambria’s vibrant arts scene, boutique shopping, and cozy restaurants.
Completely Rebuilt in 2018 with meticulous attention to detail, this two-story home offers elegance and functionality. The custom kitchen features beautiful cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and a premium Bosch appliance package. Hand-carved bamboo flooring adds warmth, while a steel wood-burning fireplace serves as a striking focal point in the living area. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light, enhancing the ambiance. The layout includes two ensuite bedrooms, with the luxurious primary suite boasting a spa-like soaking tub, plus a half bath is located on the main level for guests. A detached, finished one-car garage provides flexibility for storage, a studio, or a workshop.
Surrounded by mature Japanese-style tiered gardens, the property is anchored by a stunning 30-year-old Japanese Maple. The yard, expanded with additional square footage from a newly merged lot, offers space for gardening and pets and numerous other options. Deer are frequent visitors, adding to the peaceful setting. A 1,000-square-foot redwood deck is perfect for stargazing or unwinding to the sound of the ocean. A second deck off the living room, accessed through French doors, overlooks downtown—an ideal spot for morning coffee or dining al fresco.
Minutes from landmarks like Hearst Castle and the nearby elephant seal rookery, you can experience the unique wildlife and history of the Central Coast. The famous zebras of Hearst Ranch still roam the rolling hills, a nod to the area’s storied past.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, an artist’s haven, or a base for coastal adventures, 5250 Guildford offers it all. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of Cambria’s charm.
