Bucolic four-acre Sebastopol estate asks $1.7 million

Jul 18, 2019

Does this modern farmhouse look familiar? You probably saw it in a Williams-Sonoma catalog.

No really! Originally built in 1908, the fairytale-rustic country home has been the location of many a photoshoot for the likes of Pottery Barn, Everlane, Pendleton...the list goes on. Fully restored by the current owners, the property—which includes a main house, cottage, and barn—has many vintage elements and is loaded with charm.

Four points of entry open into the main house for easy indoor/outdoor living: The front door leads to an airy living room with the fireplace and bedroom to the left. Just beyond is a central space with two French doors opening up to a small deck with steps down to the grounds. Across the way is a bathroom with a standalone soaking tub and a staircase alongside. In the back of the house is another set of doors from a large deck overlooking the sweeping walnut tree and a swing in the yard.

The north-facing kitchen has a large island and porcelain trough sink. Behind are matching floating wood shelves for a picture-perfect display of tableware. A small sitting area to the right of the double doors offers a joint entry area to hang coats and boots, or sitting nook to cozy up with a book on the sofa. Upstairs an enormous bedroom awaits bathed in natural light from windows all around. Another small room on this level makes for another place to sleep, or a home office.

A quaint cottage with bedroom, full bathroom, and living area offers a private place for guests, rental, or even separate workspace. With large windows, an arched ceiling in the bedroom, and an extra large, remodeled walk-in shower, it makes for the perfect retreat. Also on the property is a 1,450 square foot multi-purpose barn, warmed by a fireplace. With high ceilings, an abundance of natural light and neutral palette, it could make for a lovely event space or workshop. If that weren't enough, the estate also offers views of the Mayacama and Coastal ranges.

This is the quintessential Instagram home.
