About This Home

As of March 2025

The Quintessential Healdsburg Cottage. This immaculately restored residence is perched on a large lot with sweeping views overlooking downtown, Tayman Park and distant ridges of the Dry Creek Valley. Curated in classic style using high quality materials and incorporating intricate design elements including speciality tile work, solid brass fixtures throughout, a chef's kitchen and beautiful hardwood flooring laid by artisans in a Herringbone pattern. Off the kitchen, large sliding glass doors open wide onto a redwood deck that features an outdoor soaking tub and shower. On nearly one half acre, there is plenty of space and abundant sunshine to create your own oasis with terraced patios and swimming pool. Situated on a quiet lane, this charming wine country cottage is close to Healdsburg's vibrant downtown Plaza with its renown restaurants, music scene and boutiques. This unique opportunity also includes architectural plans for expansion that incorporates a modern 5 bedroom, 3,500 sqft luxury residence while maintaining the existing home as a detached guest house.
