Mendocino Village Compound

45045 Calpella Street Mendocino, California 95460 United States

Nestled in the heart of historic Mendocino, this stunning mixed-use compound(3 separate buildings – 2 bed/2 bath residence; studio; and 3-unit mixed-use) introduces the first residential home to be built in Mendocino Village in the last 15 years. This Italianate-Victorian home, inspired by the mid 1800’s San Francisco- style architecture, captures the essence of a bygone era while at the same time, offering all the contemporary amenities and energy efficiency of new construction. The four-year building process, completed in 2023, showcases the vision of the owners to build a magnificent compound that seamlessly integrates into the heart of the Mendocino village.As you arrive, you will pass through the gate in the white picket fencing and walk along the brick pathways that wind through the property connecting each of its three structures. Included in the compound are: the “Red House”, a two-story mixed-use building, constructed in 2005, that duplicates the original 1864 structure (this commercial building is fully-leased with $93,120 annual income -- Edward Jones Office, Whale Spout Studio, Grey Whale Lookout 2-bed, 1-bath upstairs apartment); the “Mustard Studio,” constructed from the base of an old water tower built in 1884 and fully remodeled into a studio with a bath (vacant); and the newest addition, the “White House”, a pristine 2 bedroom, 2 bath residence with a snow-white painted exterior, black tuxedo-style trim windows, 8’ glass doors and beautiful minimal-scaped front and rear gardens.

The exterior of the main house was built from carefully selected, kiln-dried redwood to weather the north coast climate. This grand home offers intricate exterior and interior detailing, from the 18 ornate, vertically-tiered 6’ x 3’ windows and moldings, to hand-carved exterior corbels and a grand staircase leading up to the master suite where you’ll find a serene retreat with Mendocino village and bay views, a spa-like bathroom with black and white tiling, heated floors and a view overlooking the gardens out front.

Important in this coastal climate, this home is blessed with an abundance of natural sunlight.

Upon entry, 10’ high ceilings draw you into the home. As you pass through, you’ll find beautiful white woodwork throughout, schoolhouse lights, thoughtful positioning of gallery lighting for personal art, beautiful solid, wide bleached and weathered oak plank flooring, and a downstairs secondary master ensuite with beautiful marble heated floors and an 8’ glass shower door. The spacious, open floorplan seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with a grand, living area and views to the bay. The gourmet kitchen is perfect for entertaining, with European-style open shelving, Cafe Series appliances, Carerra marble countertops, a large island, and dropped, large-scale pendant lamps.
