About This Home

As of October 2021

This very special Cherry Valley home reveals new delights around every corner. With a wall of windows soaring to meet its vaulted ceiling, and opening to a massive redwood deck off of the living room, the indoor/outdoor entertaining space is awe-striking. Two bedrooms and a charmingly vintage pink guest bath complete the main level. The owner's suite offers a private escape upstairs with an attached office nook, large ensuite bath and private deck overlooking the property. More marvels await on the lower level, including a guest suite with its own deck and private entrance. But further exploration reveals a professional recording studio built strictly to reduce sound transmission, with two isolation booths plus microphone outlet boxes. Set on more than 1/3 acre among mature oak trees in a much-coveted neighborhood, its park-like backyard includes a meandering man-made creek and thoughtfully carved pathways for serene enjoyment of the lovely outdoor space.
