Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1930 and untouched for over 50 years, the property is in original condition with significant functional obsolescence, including a 3-bed/1-bath layout. Interior photos show acoustic tile ceilings, dated paneling, and worn carpeting, while the listing explicitly calls for a 'thoughtful renovation' and 'inspired vision' to make it a sanctuary, indicating that the kitchen, bath, and major systems require a complete overhaul.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43560, living area = 1482.
Situated less than a mile from the historic Sonoma Plaza and just 45 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, this property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban convenience.
The rare one-acre lot provides a massive canvas for expansion, landscaping, or creating a luxury Wine Country estate, a scarcity in such a sought-after area.
Having been held by the same owner for over 50 years, the 1930s structure requires a comprehensive renovation to meet modern luxury standards.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the current layout is underserviced for modern living requirements and will likely necessitate structural reconfiguration.
