From the front patio and deck, you’ll enter into an open dining area with vaulted ceilings and large antique iron chandelier. A few steps below, is the living room with abundant windows, built-in shelving, wood-burning stove and cozy sitting areas. French doors open to a spacious deck with seating, ideal for outdoor living or entertaining. Also adjoining the central dining area is a sunny kitchen with butcher block counters, Viking stove and plenty of built-in storage. Vintage details have been thoughtfully integrated into every room, with furnishings and décor by Sarah Anderson of Chateau Sonoma. Custom colors and textures accent the interiors, which feature authentic 1910 fir floors, beadboard walls, antique fixtures, high ceilings, wood framed windows and French doors. Both baths have claw foot tubs with showers above.

Detached from the main home and across the patio, is an enchanting one bedroom guest cottage with full tiled bath, storage closet and extra sitting room/sleeping porch.

The private, gently-sloped grounds are sheltered by native oaks and a variety of mature trees yet feature numerous sunny areas for relaxation or play – bocce court, pool and spa, children’s play structure and space for a potential hobby vineyard, orchard or barn. The land is fenced with a main custom gate and convenient gated service entry.
