20523 Palmer Avenue

This beautifully updated 1,772 sq-ft. home offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on a quiet dead-end street just outside historic Sonoma. Tucked away for privacy yet conveniently close to local amenities. This property combines great location with thoughtful upgrades, on a nearly half acre lot. The heart of the home is the updated kitchen. Featuring granite countertops and peninsula, a gas cook-top with built-in oven, microwave, and stained glass cabinetry. There is a skylight, tiled backsplash, crown molding, and ample storage. The formal dining room includes a built-in credenza with a warming drawer. The French doors provide light and lead to a private deck that has a gas barbecue and fire pit table. All making this a great social space. A wood-burning brick fireplace anchors the living room. Adjacent is a central refinished restroom with a bathtub. The primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a spacious walk-in closet that doubles as a home office. The thoughtfully renovated en-suite includes heated floors, a towel warmer, Toto heated seat, modern finishes, and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads and a seating bench. Modern systems add comfort and efficiency: solar panels, water softener and reverse osmosis systems, an attic fan, 200-amp electrical panel (generator-ready), central HVAC, double-pane windows, and security cameras. A washer and dryer are included. The spacious backyard has a gazebo, and offers room to create a spectacular garden or explore building potential. Two separate garages on opposite ends of the home deliver three indoor parking spaces, plus generous exterior parking. The house's engineered drainage and low-maintenance landscaped front yard is approached by gravel, and connects to a driveway lined with mature trees, enhancing the sense of privacy and arrival. This home has an abundance of personalized features built for comfort and style, and is close to renowned restaurants, local cultural events, and is just minutes from the famous downtown Sonoma square.
