About this House

FOR RENT/ LEASE:

Come see this lovely brand new 2-bedroom, 1 bath home located in the country in west Petaluma.

The washed-out herringbone brick path leads you to this lovely home. Design your living area with this spacious open floor plan. The home has hardwood flooring throughout and beautiful tile flooring in the bathroom. There is a gas range stove/oven, farmhouse sink, plenty of counters and cabinet space, pantry, restoration hardware in kitchen and bath, cellular shades for added privacy throughout.

Last but not least to mention is the well-insulated, but the very cool and rustic tin roof.

    "It’s a bit pricey. Also, if you a looking to rent, and have a large dog over 25 lbs., it is doubly hard to fine anything other than an apartment. And open space is a premium in taking care of the dogs needs."
