Remarks

Set among the trees near the Russian River, this distinctive 1928 home offers a wonderful blend of character, privacy, and thoughtfully improved outdoor living. With 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, approximately 1,192 square feet, and a generous .45-acre lot, the property has been extensively updated in recent years with an emphasis on both function and enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Multiple levels of outdoor space create places to gather, relax, garden, and take in the natural setting. The upper patio features a pergola, cobblestone pavers, fencing and an arbor, while newly created hillside terraces expand the usable outdoor areas. Extensive landscaping, irrigation, retaining walls, pathways, fencing, and new stairways provide improved access throughout the property. The home itself has received substantial exterior improvements, including a newer roof, fresh exterior paint, modern cable railings with cedar handrails, and cedar-wrapped columns that give the home a clean, updated look. Inside, the lower level has been refreshed with luxury vinyl flooring, updated lighting, drywall repair, texture, and fresh paint. Custom remote-control blinds, an outdoor storage closet, refreshed hardscaping, and numerous additional improvements add to the home's functionality. A uni
