Mission-Style Home in Sonoma with Inspired Decor Hits the Market

Built in the 1970s and recently renovated, the mission-style home features prized marbles, whimsical light fixtures and showstopping textiles.


A renovated, mission-style home in Sonoma is currently listed for sale. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,722-square-foot home was built in 1974 by architect Lawson Willard. A 2023 renovation using exquisite decorative finishes has transformed the dwelling into an inspired space. The asking price is $3,595,000.

Warm-hued, stained-wood cabinets throughout are capped with the high-contrast coolness of prized marbles like purple-veined Calacatta Viola, Dolomite and Arabescato. Tiles are sourced from notable designer Ann Sacks. 

Modern light fixtures offer whimsical contrast to the transitional space. Outdoor lights are mission style, handcrafted by the Santa Barbara Lighting Company.

Textile choices are showstopping. Hand-painted red de Gournay wallpaper in one bedroom is a bold and sumptuous choice. In another bedroom, de Gournay wallpaper with a forest scene, complete with foxes, blends beautifully with mission-style beveled doors.

The yard is full of lush plantings, and the pool, patio and awning have a simple angular geometry, allowing the setting’s understated wood tones and creamy textiles to share focus.
