Description

Tucked into a serene 1.2-acre setting in the heart of Sonoma County's Forestville, this private oasis is a rare example of mid-century modern architecture. Designed in 1947 by renowned architect John Hans Ostwald and originally commissioned by the Kellogg family, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is a masterclass in timeless design. Thoughtfully updated by the current owner with deep respect for Ostwald's original vision, the home blends iconic architectural elements such as expansive walls of glass, warm wood finishes, & seamless indoor-outdoor flow with carefully integrated modern upgrades. These include a custom-remodeled kitchen and primary bath, period restored guest bath, solar(owned), EV charging, privacy fencing, heated built-in pool and hot tub with tranquil water feature. Ostwald was known for his U-shaped floor plans centered around a pool or courtyard, creating a natural extension of indoor living into the landscape. This vision is fully realized by multiple outdoor living spaces that wrap the home, drawing the beauty of the surrounding environment into every room. This architectural gem offers rare seclusion just minutes from the cultural richness of Healdsburg, the creative charm of Sebastopol and Guerneville, and the awe-inspiring Sonoma Coast and Redwoods.

    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 6 years and love it! The established residents look out for eachother. It is dog friendly. Evenings on the river a perfect complement of stargazing and listening to the crickets. The smell of the redwoods after the first rain. "

    "People want to be left alone, very poor neighborhoods, lots of homeless the further west you go. Look under any bridge & you will find them. Sonoma county busses them out to Guernville and anywhere in between. "

    "I love Forestville, CA. I visit here a couple of times a year, and really believe that it's hard to beat the quality of life. Close to the Russian River, the ocean, state parks, Santa Rosa and Sebastapol. A very nice airpot right at your doorstep. World class wineries in you backyard. This is truly paradise!"

    "Have a 2nd home in Summerhome Park-peaceful during most of the year-comes alive during summer when families open their homes but not in a crazy way. Beautiful vistas and close to so much. Healdsburg Guerneville around the corner. Wineries, state parks, outdoor activities. Nice folks as neighbors. very open minded "

    "We love living in Forestville! The people are friendly and involved. It's safe. The schools are very good. There are many opportunities available within a few miles; hiking through the redwoods, canoeing down the Russian River, wine tasting, eating in a plethora of wonderful restaurants, enjoying cultural and sporting events or shopping at the malls. Driving home along River Road, looking out over the vineyards, there isn't a time I don't think about how gorgeous it is here and how grateful I am to live in such a place. As I write this, the leaves are a profusion of color that must rival New England's trees. In the newspaper today, the headline touts Trip Advisor's assessment that Sonoma County is "the premier wine destination in the United States and the second wine destination in the world, after Tuscany in Italy."
