Built in 1879, this inviting Bolinas, Calif., farm house sits on a 57-acre estate located near the Point Reyes National Seashore north of San Francisco.

An addition on the back of the farm house extends the living space and creates the perfect corner in the yard for a small deck.

A generously sized room provides spaces for both relaxing around the fireplace and dining with friends. Rather than resting below one of the specific zones, a large area rug helps delineate the space separating each zone.

The generous height of the main level of this Bolinas, Calif., farm house is maximized by tucking the kitchen beneath a vaulted living area. The floor in the kitchen and bar area is sunken to make the space feel larger.
