About This Home
As of May 2025From the moment you pass through the custom front door, you enter into a tranquil open-concept living and kitchen area with abundant natural light. Perfect for a quiet evening in, or easy entertaining. A gas fireplace makes the home welcoming year-round. The hall, office (doubles as a guest bedroom), and bath feature soaring pitched 11' ceilings. Custom features abound in all rooms including built-ins in the office and master, finished with hand-made Japanese paper, inspired by the owner's trips to galleries in Tokyo. The back yard features high fences, ensuring privacy. Beautifully appointed with a fountain, hot tub, and low-maintenance foliage -- perfect for quiet relaxation or entertaining. Originally constructed in the 1930s, the house was entirely rebuilt in 2012 and is ideal as a full-time home, or worry-free second residence in Sonoma County wine country. Walking distance from The Barlow, minutes to the Coast, and an hour to San Francisco. Home and pest inspection done.
