Chic Sonoma Home Retains Vintage Charm With Sharp Upgrades

The renovated, 1950s-era Sonoma home features an open layout with modern light fixtures, a wood-burning fireplace and inspired furnishings.


A renovated, 1950s-era Sonoma home is currently listed for sale. Full of charm and sharp upgrades, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home with an office is priced at $795,000.

The dwelling retains its vintage lines, but renewed elements — starting at the knotty-pine front door — make the space shine. The kitchen and bathroom feature quartz countertops as well as premium cabinets, which are painted a vibrant teal in the kitchen. Wide-planked white oak floors run throughout. 

The great room includes dining and lounging areas and centers around a wood-burning fireplace with a uniquely arched opening. The open layout and generous windows offer light and spaciousness that visually expand the home’s 1,500 square feet.

The yard offers a covered patio for dining, raised garden beds and fruit trees.
