Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1954 mid-century home is well-maintained and habitable but shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features outdated white cabinetry with visible wear, older white appliances, and basic tile flooring. While the original hardwood floors and vaulted beam ceilings add character, the property lacks modern updates in the kitchen and bathroom areas, and the single-bathroom layout is restrictive for the price point. It is a classic 'fixer' or development opportunity where the systems are functional but dated.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7501, living area = 1029.
Situated on the highly desirable East side just blocks from the historic Sonoma Plaza, this property offers exceptional walkability to world-class dining, tasting rooms, and shopping.
The generous 7,500 square foot lot provides ample room for expansion or the creation of a luxury estate, surrounded by larger, well-maintained homes that support high resale values.
With only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, the current layout is restrictive for modern family living and will likely require a costly addition.
At just 1,029 square feet, the living space is relatively compact, necessitating further development to match the scale of neighboring properties on the block.
Adorable 1950's mid-century modern home a few blocks off the Sonoma square on the East side. Approximately 7,400 +/- square foot lot with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and an open floor plan with attached garage and room for further development. Dynamite location on a special block of larger well cared for homes. This is an opportunity to develop a dream property in the right location of downtown Sonoma.
