About This Home
As of March 2023Only minutes from the Sonoma Plaza, this unique home was custom-designed and built by renowned straw-bale specialists Skillful Means. Built to be thermally efficient, using hardly any heat in winter. The clerestory windows provide light and warmth into the home from its direct southern exposure as the sun's rays strike a thermal mass wall which stores heat. In summer the cool night air and thick walls require no air conditioning. Living room, ideal for conversation, is spacious and light, opening through glass French doors to an outdoor courtyard featuring walls decorated with mosaic murals by Chicago artist Francine Gourgeuechon. The country kitchen-dining room has elevated fireplace for cozy dining and adjoining scullery which opens to a vegetable/flower garden with raised beds. The drought tolerant landscaping in front received an award for ecological design. The informal park-like backyard features many trees, fruit and otherwise. In addition, the owners created a pond fed by the well that delivers year-round enjoyment for birdwatchers. Additional structures include over-sized garage with separate craft room and insulated wine room. Separate workshop, greenhouse, chicken coop with nesting room. Connected to city sewer with private well for water.
