This craftsman-style home sits directly across from the Barlow, in the heart of Sebastopol. With its ideal weather, Sebastopol is located in the heart of the premier California wine country. Each changing season brings its own beauty to the rolling hills of the vineyards. Sebastopol has maintained its small town atmosphere while offering visitors world class amenities.
The space
This home has been meticulously restored to its original beauty. The graceful architecture of the home is accentuated with furniture in the craftsman style. It is a house filled with light. The home is ideal for accommodating families or friends gathering for that special event or a tour of the wine country. The surrounding gardens with their plants and flowers add to the serene feeling of this setting. The side yard offers a private setting with two patio areas! The umbrella shaded patio table with chairs is ideal for enjoying that morning coffee or visits with friends. The second slate patio holds a gracious grouping of deep cushioned furniture with a sail shade and string of lights for lounging in the evening. The home's central location in Sebastopol puts it within walking distance to all of the downtown area. You're just across the street from The Barlow, a market complex featuring local food, wine, beer, spirits and crafts made onsite by Sonoma county artisans. And don't forget Screamin' Mimi's, the award winning ice cream parlor! Sebastopol is fortunate to be home to artists whose art work can be seen in local galleries and restaurants. The Joe Rodota bike trail, half a block away, is ideal for that walk, jog, or bike outing to Santa Rosa or Forestville.
Each of the beds is Cal King (with the exception of the bunk beds) and all the beds (including the bunk beds) have been chosen with your comfort in mind; in the quality of the mattresses, the softness of the mattress toppers, and the linens. Guests often comment on the comfort of the beds.
Guest access
The entire house is yours to enjoy (with the exception of a small utility basement). The gas fireplace, ideal for those cool evenings, can be lit with the touch of a remote button. The side yard provides a private retreat with two patios for a quiet moment or a serene setting to share with friends. The well supplied laundry room with its washer and dryer is also available for your use. You'll find a large basket filled with beach towels for that trip to the beach.
There is parking available for 3 cars in the curved driveway under the portico. Additional free parking is also available on a side street directly across the street from the home.
Other things to note
I welcome dogs with prior approval and know that many people wish to travel with their beloved pets. Because my home has wooden floors along with leather couches, it's important that these are protected from scratching of pets with long nails and enthusiastic personalities. I charge a $400 deposit to ensure for the possible cost of any damage caused by your pet. This is in addition to the pet cleaning fee ($100 per pet). If no damage occurs you will, of course, not be charged the $400.
Misc
My home's location (directly across from The Barlow and centrally located in Sebastopol), while ideal for easy walking access to Sebastopol's many attractions, does mean there is traffic noise, as in any city. Sebastopol is in the middle of wine country with many vineyards within easy driving distance!
