About This Home

As of April 2025

A rare opportunity to own a legacy property in the lower Russian river. This timeless Mid-Century single-level home boasts soaring vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, hardwood floors, a custom 8-light glass Cupola, rock fireplace and a reimagined kitchen within an airy open floorplan. The 2-room primary suite offers patio doors, a spacious Atrium style bath, including an open concept double tiled shower, plus soaking tub. A large spacious deck connects nearly all the rooms to the private, greenbelt exterior. The garage/ art studio is detached. Set off the road on a gated drive, you'll experience absolute privacy yet a short walk or bike downtown with restaurants, nightlife, world class wineries and river beaches. Situated on 9.62 redwood studded acres, it was once a campground and restaurant in the 80's and then owned by a noted author & journalist, Randy Shilts. Your own verdant enclave awaits. Live the bounty of Sonoma County!
