This unique redwood ranch was built to last in 1952 using sturdy all-wood post-and-beam construction. In 2007 the house was completely updated and expanded without sacrificing the rustic charm of the original house. Laminated 12" x 6" Douglas fir beams run the full width of the original house, 6" x 6" posts can be seen in its wall structure, and its interior walls are "-thick solid wood tongue-and-groove vertical panels. New areas are dry walled. Large new Pella casement windows make this home bright, open and airy.
