Description from owner

Description

Peppy mid century modern meets cheeky Scandinavian. Home is within walking distance to award winning restaurants, 2 of the valley's famous hot springs pools & a vibrant & colorful community. Richard & I are very approachable, kind, & fun. We open our hearts, our minds, & our doors to kind people of all walks of life & backgrounds always finding that we have something in common with everyone we meet.

The space

This is a split level shotgun style house. Furnished & decorated in fun bright colors. The Big and Juicy Grape is like its name!

We do have a half bath downstairs and a very comfortable sleeper convertible in the living room, but the house's full bath with shower/tub is upstairs.

House has a fenced in yard with trees and a concrete patio area.

There is a living room with flat screen TV, an air mover, a natural gas convection wall heater, a half bath, a dining area, fully equipped kitchen with access to the yard, and washer and dryer in covered back patio in the first level.

The second level has two bedrooms, a full bath with combination shower tub, a free standing AC, and air movers in each bedroom.

You’ll be surprised, The Big and Juicy Grape packs charm within its love filled walls and even views!

We have a lot of love for the place and because of that we can offer a promise that such love will show throughout the house.

Richard and I like to find fun where we are. Sonoma Valley and its surroundings have a lot to offer. We love living and working here. We enjoy the outdoors, motorcycling, kayaking, hiking, and going out to the bays (bays, plural!). I am an artist and though Richard says he isn't artistic, he really actually is...he has a great eye! We hope you'll find some of who we are and the love we have for our little spot at the base of the Mayacamas throughout the house. Our goal: your comfort & convenience. We are well rooted here and there is another way to see the world: open your doors to its people! We hope you get to like our place, we even named it... Come and kick back at The Big and Juicy Grape.

The Big and Juicy Grape it's on its own private lot located in a small complex of similarly built houses, nestled at the base of the Mayacama mountains.

The shared uphill driveway starts at the highway and it dead ends at a green space where large ancient oaks compliment the adjacent rows of grapes.

The location is quite convenient, near everything but also very private.
