About This Home

As of June 2022

Ideally located on coveted Third Street East, an oasis of peace and beauty, yet a short stroll from the fun of Historic Sonoma Plaza. From the new, elegantly designed gate and fence you walk through beautifully newly landscaped grounds with Ipe decks into a stylishly redesigned main house which offers 3 bedrooms and two and a half updated baths, an open floor plan. The many luxurious amenities include yet not limited to DuChateau wide plank floors, La Cantina folding doors, a Lacanche gas range, luxurious Victoria + Albert soaking tub, and a multitude of energy efficient upgrades. . In the back enjoy an inviting patio with chef's island which turns into lovely, landscaped grounds (with room to build a pool), leading to a charming guest cottage with a full bath. Rarely does such a property become available.
