Tucked into the Guernewood Heights neighborhood along the famed Russian River corridor, this thoughtfully updated 1,770 sq ft home offers the rare combination of authentic Sonoma County character and modern, move-in-ready comfort all under a canopy of old-growth redwoods. Recently remodeled, the home has been carefully brought into the present with quality upgrades throughout: warm butcher block countertops, ceramic tile baths, cathedral ceilings, and hardwood floors that bring a fresh, elevated style to the home's timeless character. The updated kitchen is dialed in and ready for everything from weeknight dinners to weekend entertaining. Step outside and the setting takes over. The upper balcony commands sweeping, unobstructed views of ancient redwoods that rise dramatically against the sky a view that never stops giving. Below, a shaded lower patio offers a cooler, more intimate escape, perfectly suited for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply losing track of time in the quiet of the trees. The flexible lower-level space opens the door to whatever you envision a workshop, art studio, home gym, or generous storage. This is a home that holds you close but when you're ready to explore, the adventures await you: Several Russian River beaches are just minutes away, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve offers world-class hiking and horseback riding, and the acclaimed restaurants and wineries of the Russian River Valley are yours to explore at a moment's notice. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, 17356 Old Monte Rio Road delivers the Sonoma County lifestyle without compromise.
