Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and functional but shows significant signs of its 1979 origin. While it features some updates like stainless steel appliances, solar panels, and recessed lighting, the kitchen's oak cabinetry and blue countertops, along with the dated fireplace tile, indicate the home has not undergone a full modern renovation. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep with components that are functional but stylistically outdated.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15202, living area = 1702.
The property is perched to capture sweeping views of the Petaluma River and Sonoma hills, featuring extensive wraparound decking that facilitates a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The layout includes soaring open-beam ceilings and a unique, separate private suite, providing an ideal setup for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or a home office.
The terraced backyard and 'perched' location, while excellent for views, may limit the amount of flat, usable land for traditional recreation or gardening.
Built in 1979, the property may require additional investment to modernize original systems or finishes to meet the expectations of contemporary luxury buyers.
