400 Winifred Street, Fort Bragg, CA

About 400 Winifred Street

Located in Fort Bragg's leafy Northeast neighborhood among homes of equal caliber, 400 Winifred Street is an architect-designed California ranch enriched with English cottage details. Offered for only the second time in nearly 70 years, this remarkably original home remains a true time capsule--untouched, unspoiled, and faithful to its highly personal architectural vision.From the front door, the full depth of the home unfolds toward a broad bank of south-facing dining room windows overlooking a lush wall of greenery, providing exceptional privacy. The interior is defined by rich, clear-grain redwood walls, warm wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, an immense brick inglenook fireplace, and a built-in grill with copper hood. The open floor plan and thoughtfully integrated kitchen remain remarkably effective and livable nearly seven decades later.The primary bedroom features a full wall of closets and an east-facing window overlooking the morning sun. Two additional bright bedrooms offer ample storage and south-facing window walls with built-in shelving. The hallway includes generous storage, including an unusual bank of pull-out linen trays. A pull-down stair leads to an attic with additional storage.A Dutch door from the dining room opens directly onto the sunny south-facing patio, creating a seamless connection between the interior and garden. The original design recessed the floor framing into the crawl space to eliminate steps between indoors and out--a quintessentially 1950s California approach to living. The patio leads to an established rear garden and upper terrace
