7655 Panoramic Hwy, The Tower House

The Tower House... Once in a great while, a remarkable property becomes available in Stinson Beach. The Tower House is one of those houses, and is now available for a new owner for the first time in a generation. Built by hand with the craftsmanship of a sturdy boat, the Tower House has stood on the flanks of Mount Tamalpais overlooking Stinson Beach and the vast Pacific for years, an icon that has slowed traffic and delighted the curious since the mid-70s. Each level of the tower presents a view of the surrounding nature in ever expanding vistas. The lower level room feels secure and snug and peeks out into the pine forest and needle covered hillside. With its own private entry and built-in bath, the room could be a workshop, a studio, or a guest room… you choose. The exterior walkway and gentle stairs lead to the middle level and main entry. A subtle wooden door opens to reveal a masterful curved staircase lit from floor to ceiling windows that closely follow the sweep of the stairs. The rounded form of the room wraps and focuses the sightlines to the ocean just beyond. The middle level also holds a compartmentalized toilet and shower also built into the curves of the structure. The uppermost level is the aerie, the nest, the observation deck… the whole reason for a tower! The overarching roofline, the radiating structure of windows, simple hearth and a tiny place to cook food or hold drinks, built-in table and bench for eating, working, reading. An all-in-one room that is as dreamlike as a castle in a fairy tale.
