Vintage Charm! This historic estate is situated on a half-acre bordered by School Creek in beautiful Bonny Doon. The main house on the property was originally the one-room Oceanview School, built in 1886.In the 1950s, the property was purchased by Roy Rydell, a noted landscape architect & artist, and his wife Frances. The Rydells began transforming the property, putting on an addition to back of the schoolhouse, resulting in a 2,642 square foot residence with 3+ bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge living room, family room, formal dining room, a loft office and abundant storage areas as well as a laundry room and a 2-car garage. A 747 square foot one-bedroom guest cottage, green house, open-air potting shed and an art studio with attached workshop were also added to the property. The Rydells transformed the grounds into lush gardens with Japanese Maples, courtyards, decks and brick pathways. All downstairs rooms in the two homes have direct access to the courtyards and gardens. Roy Rydell is best known for designing the Pacific Garden Mall, the grounds of Sunset Magazine's headquarters in Menlo Park and the Allied Arts Guild grounds in Menlo Park.
