A Forestville home — perched in the hills on three-fourths of a forested acre — was recently featured in a New York Times real estate story on $1.1 million homes in California. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom renovated home, now under contract, was listed for $995,000.
The circa-1949 home’s remodeled interior includes wide-plank hardwood floors, a kitchen backsplash with handmade Heath Ceramics tiles and a fire feature in the great room.


The mainly white interior features lots of high contrast accents via select black walls, a blue room and a gray wallpapered room. But lots of natural light and end-to-end forest views steal the design show.
The yard includes decks and a courtyard with a fire pit. Lots of seating areas give several vantage points from which to bathe in the views.
The Russian River dwelling is the second local real estate listing recently featured in The New York Times. In December of 2024, the Times spotlighted a Santa Rosa home in the hills of Montecito Heights.
