2316 S St
Eureka, CA
Tucked among towering redwoods on 3 separate parcels totaling approximately 1.61 acres, this extraordinary Eureka property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, architectural character and flexible living in a truly special setting. Originally designed by renowned architect Angus McSweeney, the approximately 2,953 sq. ft. residence is filled with distinctive details and extensive custom wood, stone and tile work throughout.
The dramatic living room captures the character of the home with vaulted open-beam redwood ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a wall of windows framing the surrounding redwood forest. Natural light fills the space, while direct access to the backyard and large deck creates an easy connection between the home and its private setting.
At the heart of the home is a custom kitchen designed with both style and function in mind. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a large island with breakfast bar, custom glass tile backsplash and hammered stainless steel farm sink are complemented by an impressive ILVE stainless steel 6-burner range with double oven, rotisserie and pot filler. A separate KitchenAid wall oven, built-in microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher complete the appliance package. The adjoining dining area is surrounded by windows, while custom lighting, architectural beams and luxury vinyl plank flooring continue through the main living spaces.
The home's flexible floor plan provides an array of possibilities for bedrooms, offices and private suites. A solarium opens directly to the deck and redwood forest, while the primary bedroom enjoys corner windows overlooking the trees, crown molding, architectural beams, custom lighting and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The primary bath features dual sinks, a slipper tub surrounded by stone, custom tile shower with a multifunction shower panel and a lighted, self-defrosting mirror. Additional bedrooms and baths carry the home's custom detailing throughout, including stone accents, tile work, smart toilets and thoughtfully designed storage.
Upstairs, an additional bedroom features redwood-paneled walls, built-in storage and access to substantial unfinished attic storage. An oversized finished double garage provides even more storage and includes its own full bathroom.
One of the property's most compelling features is the separate guest quarters, offering remarkable flexibility for extended living, guests or other possibilities. With its own entrance and private fence, the quarters include a wraparound partially covered deck, vaulted open-beam ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the redwoods. The living area features parquet flooring and a brick fireplace with built-in cooktop, while the kitchenette offers wood cabinetry.
Two bedrooms provide additional private living space, including one with a brick fireplace and woodstove and another with wood-paneled walls, built-in cabinetry and direct exterior access. The guest bath is a standout in its own right, featuring a handmade vanity with customized fantasy coastal resin doors and tempered-glass vessel sink, along with a vintage-inspired iron and porcelain bathtub, custom tile surround, smart toilet and laundry.
Outside, the setting is every bit as special as the home. Expansive decking overlooks the private redwood surroundings and established landscaping, creating a peaceful backdrop for outdoor living. The property also offers abundant driveway and off-street parking, a leaf-filter gutter system and three wooden storage sheds, including one with a new corrugated clear roof.
With three parcels totaling approximately 1.61 acres, separate guest quarters, abundant storage and parking, extensive custom craftsmanship and the architectural distinction of an original Angus McSweeney design, 2316 S St is far from ordinary—a truly unique Eureka property offering privacy, character and exceptional versatility.
