A Forestville home — built by the family that resided there for over 50 years — recently hit the market for the first time, with a $995,000 asking price. Within a day of being listed, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,753-square-foot home went into contract, according to listing agent Dani La Noire.
Built in 1972, the modernist home has an angle-forward great room situated to take in the views. Numerous floor-to-ceiling windows run along the top of the vaulted ceilings. Wood-cladding doubles down on the ’70s style.
The two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and porch access overlooking the property’s 15.93 acres, with views stretching to Mount St. Helena in the distance.
The kitchen remains in its vintage state with attractive solid-wood stained cabinets and sturdy Formica countertops.
The home lies in the prized Russian River AVA, but the future owner plans to revive the property’s numerous fruit trees, including heritage and rare varieties, according to La Noire. A student of regenerative farming at Santa Rosa Junior College, the new homeowner aims to plant traditional crops, like corn and tomatoes, rather than vineyards.
