A historic home with proximity to Sebastopol’s artistic, bohemian scene is currently up for sale. Built in 1905, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home’s asking price is $755,000.
Located on Florence Avenue, the dwelling is immersed in a piece of the town’s art scene. The notable street is lined with the playful and expressive junk art sculptures by artist and Florence Avenue resident Patrick Amiot, whose distinct works are scattered throughout town.
The home’s cherished vintage details include a covered front porch, a decorative gable, clapboard siding and a checkerboard floor.
In the 1,000-square-foot layout are a separate living room and dining room, both with hardwood floors. An auxiliary space can function as an office and laundry room.
The garden features a covered dining area and mature plantings, including 17 heirloom roses that color the area in spring.
An Amiot sculpture stands in the front yard. The homeowner chose a small angel, which she dubbed “Clarence the Garden Angel,” named after the guardian angel Clarence Odbody from the classic film, “It’s A Wonderful Life.”
The residence is a walkable distance to downtown Sebastopol, with artisan shops, acclaimed restaurants and tasting rooms. Recently, the Gravenstein capital was named one the “most zen” cities in America.
