About This Home
As of June 2025A rare opportunity in the heart of Sonoma's most coveted neighborhood, just three blocks from the Plaza and less than a block from MacArthur Place and Layla Restaurant. This sun-drenched, designer-renovated residence blends sophistication with indoor/outdoor California living. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 luxurious baths, and an open-concept layout with striking finishes, wide-plank wood floors, and walls of glass framing the lush gardens. At the rear of the property, a newly built, fully equipped ADU (with its own separate address of 827 Austin Ave) offers flexible space for guests, extended family, or rental income, complete with its own entrance and seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A newly constructed private car enclosure with a pedestrian gate adds style and security, while also providing direct access to the ADU. The expansive backyard is an entertainer's dream with a pizza oven, grill, gas fire pit, serene water feature, and fruit trees - plus space to add a pool. This is Sonoma living at its most refined.
