Property is new construction or fully renovated.
This 1912 Craftsman has been completely reimagined with a high-end designer renovation. It features a chef's kitchen with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, marble countertops, and new oak floors. Crucially, all major systems are new, including the roof, electrical, septic, and water heater, fitting the criteria for a recent top-tier renovation in mint condition.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11339, living area = 834.
The property features a complete top-to-bottom remodel with premium finishes, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Zellige tiling, offering a luxury turnkey experience in a historic Craftsman shell.
The inclusion of an active vacation rental permit is a significant value-add and a rarity for the Monte Rio area, making this an ideal investment for short-term rental income.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the home's layout may be a bottleneck for families or groups, potentially limiting its functionality as a high-occupancy rental.
At just 834 square feet for a three-bedroom configuration, the individual rooms and common living areas are likely quite small, which may feel restrictive to some buyers.
Perched above the flood plain on a quiet, tree-lined road in Monte Rio, this completely reimagined 1912 Craftsman sits at the heart of a rare five-parcel, approximately 0.66-acre redwood retreat just minutes from Monte Rio Beach and the dramatic Sonoma Coast. Updated from the ground up while preserving its historic bones, every detail of this three-bedroom home reflects the hand of a designer with an eye for the exceptional. The kitchen anchors the main level with a 48 Viking range, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, zellige wall tile, and marble countertops the kind of space that turns an ordinary evening into an occasion. New oak hardwood floors, shiplap walls, and two fireplaces run throughout, while a new full bath finished in Zellige tile, marble, and limestone adds a boutique quality rarely found at this price. New skylights and generous glazing flood every room with natural light and forest views. Outside, a new flagstone patio and rear decks dissolve the boundary between inside and the surrounding landscape. A newly created gym structure and a restored carriage house perfectly suited as an art studio, workshop, or game room round out the offering. New septic, roof, electrical, and water heater makes it the complete package. An active vacation rental permit makes this a genuine income opportunity rare for Monte Rio. Must see to appreciate!
