This Modern Petaluma Home Was Built for Convenience and Community

The colorful home — located within walking distance to downtown and the Petaluma River — enjoys rich design details and shared green spaces.


A contemporary home in Petaluma with clean lines and rich detail is on the market. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling with access to a community garden and shared outdoor spaces is currently listed for $1,275,000.

The work of Petaluma-based MAD Architecture, the circa-2018 home is situated for convenience and community. It’s part of the Keller Court Commons with shared green spaces, and it’s a walkable distance to Petaluma’s quaint and happening downtown. Recreation in and along the Petaluma River is nearby, too — from restaurants and paddleboarding to river walks dotted with art installations.

The home is cleanly modern with pleasing design details. Rugged-wood vertical siding provides a rustic and homey contrast to metal siding. High ceilings and repeating windows allow plenty of light, while patches of wood-cladding and inspired use of colorblocking warms the space. Accented areas with pink, plum and more enliven the dwelling. These tints are pulled from the mosaic backsplash in the kitchen, which anchors the great room.

The color patchwork is repeated, more subtly so, in the bathroom with alternating dark and light wood cabinetry and on the radiant-heat floors with varying tones of tile. A built-in bench at the stairway landing with a bright red wall adds visual interest and a cozy resting spot. The dwelling is an impossibly successful mix of lively and tranquil.
