Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1935, this property functions as a well-maintained vacation home but shows significant dating. Interior photos reveal older carpeting and basic fixtures consistent with a renovation cycle older than 20 years. While the exterior and amenities like the hot tub are functional, the home requires cosmetic updates and likely system modernizations to meet modern standards.
The property features a private oasis with lush gardens, a tranquil fountain, a hot tub, and an enclosed ramada with a fire pit, creating a premium environment for relaxation and entertaining.
Ideally situated within walking distance to Rio Nido Beach and the historic Roadhouse, the home offers easy access to Russian River activities, community amenities like mini-golf and a pool, and nearby world-class wineries.
With a dedicated storage shed for river gear and a fully fenced garden for pets, this charming redwood retreat is perfectly suited as either a high-demand vacation rental or a serene full-time residence.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1000, other record living area = 840.
At just 1,000 square feet, the 1935 cottage may feel restrictive for buyers seeking modern open-concept living or those with larger families.
Given the home's age and its location among the redwoods, potential buyers should anticipate ongoing maintenance related to moisture control and aging systems typical of older canyon properties.
