About this property

Petunia's Place: Landmark 1857 Farmhouse with Hot Tub, across from Sunset Beach

  • Originally built in 1857, situated just across River Road from well visited Sunset Beach, and surrounded by an established apple orchard, is Petunia's Place. Owned by the same family for over 160 years, purchased in 2021 by a neighbor who saw the opportunity to restore the farmhouse from the foundation up, this is a true piece of Russian River history. Like a life size doll house straight out of Cosmo, chicly furnished by way of up cycled treasures and sparkling new amenities, being part of this home's story is a gift. Keeping to the original footprint, the main level is smartly planned to include a bedroom, good size living space with direct access to the back yard, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and laundry area with stackable washer & dryer. Up the flight of wide plank local walnut wood stairs is the second bedroom, known as the Gingham room ( queen size bed ) and third bedroom, known as the Polkadot room ( 2 twin size beds ). Conveniently located across the hall from the bedrooms is a full bath with an amazing black and white tiled shower with rounded glass door. At the end of the hall is the Primary suite which offers ample space, tons and tons of natural light, and its own ensuite bath with a pristine shower. The Primary suite also has access to the New Orleans style covered porch which looks towards the vineyards and redwood forested hillside. The very private back yard, accessed off the dining room, has a hot tub, wooden deck, gas BBQ ( with spare tank ), and short staircase off the deck leading to the separate Foosball Funroom bedroom. The Foosball Funroom bedroom has a new fold out bed ( double ), homage to King Kong, a vintage game table for four and of course, a Foosball table.
