Artfully Remodeled Ranch Home in Sonoma Hits the Market

A 1950s-era ranch home in Sonoma has been transformed with several outdoor spaces, geometric designs and fine art finishes.


A 1950s-era ranch home that has undergone a truly artful transformation is currently listed for sale in Sonoma. The renovated 1,543-square-foot dwelling is enhanced with several outdoor spaces as well as premium and fine art finishes that create an intriguing modern aesthetic. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a pool, the home’s list price is $1,700,000.

Geometry is a central tactic of the design. Symmetrical and organic patterns in black, white and gray create a sense of movement and define the home’s spaces.

At the door is a sleek fence with thin slats in varying widths. The angular style is echoed in repeating rectangular door lites and concentric squares in the outdoor floor tile.

The living room has a circular pattern play. Spheres are neatly stacked in the fireplace, which features a cement-and-plaster finish created by fine artist Tricia Rissmann. Her artwork hanging above the sofa and mantel features abstract circles. A rounded pattern circles back to the yard via floor tile under the pergola. The tile continues around the lap pool. 

The design transitions to edgier abstract angles on the patio around the outdoor bar. This space is accessible via a glass roll-up door that connects to the “wine den,” currently styled with a black accent wall for a moody vibe in which to sip, lounge or listen to music.

A linear pattern wows in the bathroom shower. The repeat of humble, hand-drawn lines on Italian tile are designed by artist Kasia Zareba.

Classic elements like French doors and a generous quartzite kitchen countertop blend with the modern elements to create a pleasing transitional feel in the vintage home.
