About This Home

2860 Margate

Tucked into a magical setting, this French-inspired retreat is a rare, fully reimagined property blending old-world charm with exceptional craftsmanship and modern amenities. Thoughtfully redesigned by Hall Pardoe Design, the home evokes French countryside romance while offering today’s comforts, all within a private, multi-lot sanctuary in Cambria. The main house and cottage have been comprehensively upgraded, beginning with essential structural and exterior improvements, including regraded drainage, new metal roofs, and re-stuccoed exteriors with integrated color for lasting beauty without repainting. Fresh interior and exterior paint throughout enhances every space, while new French doors in the dining room open to expansive IPE decks off the dining room, guest bedroom, and primary suite—ideal for morning coffee, sunset dining, and peaceful outdoor living. Inside, the home has been opened and refined with intention. The remodeled and extended kitchen, updated bathrooms, and newly opened wall between the living and dining rooms enhance light and flow. All drywall in both structures has been resurfaced and retextured; doors, woodwork, and floors have been stripped, bleached, custom-stained, and refinished for a cohesive, artisanal feel. Vaulted cedar ceilings crown the living room, library/TV room, primary suite, bath, and closets, with walk-in closets in both the guest and primary bedrooms. Finishing details include custom oil-rubbed Reggio floor registers and Rejuvenation push-button dimmers with antique bronze plates. Modern infrastructure discreetly supports the romance, including reworked electrical systems, a relocated exterior panel, new kitchen sub-panel, Navien tankless water heater, soft water system, and dedicated mechanical and internet hub. Additional upgrades include air conditioning and updated heating in the main house, gas heat in the cottage, reverse osmosis filtration, new washer and dryer, and gas lines to an exterior fire table and barbecue.
