Tucked among the redwoods and set back from the road, this remodeled mountain retreat offers privacy, charm, and a remarkable story. Originally built in 1905, this charming home has deep roots in Brookdale's early history. The first owner was a contributor to the movement that helped preserve Big Basin Redwoods. The home was known as 'The Call of the Wild' where gatherings of writers, artists and early conservationists were inspired by the Santa Cruz Mountains. Today the home blends that historic character with modern comfort. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, wood floors and a stone hearth create a warm and inviting living space while the updated kitchen features stone countertops and modern appliances. Outdoor living is central to the property with multiple seating areas, a large entertaining deck, a hot tub beneath the redwoods and a detached studio ideal for an office, art space, or guest overflow. The fully fenced property offers parking for multiple vehicles and a seasonal babbling brook that adds to the peaceful setting. This move-in ready home offers a rare blend of history and comfort just a short drive to Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz, the beaches, and hiking in Big Basin and Henry Cowell. A unique opportunity to own a piece of history in a setting that continues to inspire.
