California redwood creates stunning A-frame home for sale 2,500 miles away. Take a look
A unique and jaw-dropping real estate opportunity has landed on the market in St. Louisville, Ohio, and it has a large California connection.
This A-frame, gorgeous 2,900-square-foot estate is made up entirely of California redwood — and you can almost breathe in a mystical woodsy scent just by flipping through the photographs alone. It’s listed for $595,000.
“Carefully crafted and made entirely with California redwood, this beautiful home spans three stories, anchored by a custom spiral staircase and stone fireplace,” the listing on Thomas|Riddle Real Estate Group, New Albany Realty says.
“Main floor offers open living space and chef’s kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters.”
According to the listing, the primary bedroom is on the first floor, with two more bedrooms and a half bath on the second level. There’s another bedroom and bathroom on the third floor.
“There was no cheating or corners cut in making this A-frame,” listing agent Rob Riddle told Realtor.com. “It’s true-blue. I have never seen one with such a steep pitch. You can tell someone with formal training as an architect led the project.”
Riddle also said why the building materials make the estate so original.
“I can’t readily think of another home built entirely from California redwood,” he told Realtor.
“It’s really a charming home that was built to a very specific uncompromising commitment to the vision. When you think back to when it was built in 1962, someone in Ohio had to make arrangements with a lumberyard in California. That was not an easy feat,” he told Realtor.
Saint Louisville is about a 45-mile drive northeast from Columbus.
