An early 1900s-era church and parsonage in west Sonoma County that was converted into a home and cottage are currently listed for sale. The modernized dwellings are on half an acre in Camp Meeker, once a logging community that later transformed into a summer retreat. Today it’s a small community of full-time residents, plus vacationers and weekenders. The asking price for this wooded property is $1,295,000.
The former church at 100 Railroad Ave. is a two-bedroom, three-bathroom home with cathedral ceilings and a grid of floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a showstopping view of redwoods. The original pine floors and siding remain.
The kitchen has been renovated with a dramatic Calacatta marble. Cabinets are painted deep blue that lands on the sophisticated side of playful. A floating bar of old redwood growth adds a warm reference to the surroundings and town’s history.
Other upgrades include fiberglass windows, copper plumbing, heated bathroom floors and a tankless water heater.
The former parsonage next door at 97 Railroad Ave. is a stylish one-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow on 618 square feet with vaulted ceilings. Updates include soapstone kitchen counters, adding modern sleekness to warm wood finishes.
The home epitomizes serenity with maples among the redwoods, dramatically sized boulders and a koi pond.
This compound is just a short distance to Occidental and the Sonoma Coast.
