Ranch-Style Home in Sonoma Offers Modern Living With Vintage Charm

The circa-1960s home on Sonoma Mountain features a wood-forward design with contemporary touches and exquisite outdoor views.


A renovated 1960s home on 2.58 oak-dotted acres on Sonoma Mountain is currently listed for sale. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom dwelling is currently seeking $2,995,000.

The 2,666-square-foot, ranch-style home is a stunning example of how a vintage home can be seamlessly updated to achieve a contemporary style. Stone countertops, premium appliances and designer light fixtures enliven the home’s clean modern lines. The look is playfully punctuated with some blues and greens in the cabinets and tiles.

Stained-wood panels on the low-pitched ceiling give a nod to styles of the past, but white walls and an open floor plan offer the airiness for present-day tastes. A sitting room with updated furnishings retains its all-around wood paneling and unmistakable vintage style.
