About this home

Character, warmth, and indoor-outdoor living come together beautifully in this inviting three bedroom, two bathroom home in the highly coveted Cherry Valley neighborhood of West Petaluma. Thoughtful architectural details, stunning curb appeal, and a soft, neutral palette create a home that feels both sophisticated and incredibly comfortable - a space where you'll be delighted to have your life unfold. The tastefully designed kitchen features rich ribbed wood cabinetry, a copper sink, a custom accent wall, and a large picture window overlooking the backyard. The adjoining living spaces offer plenty of flexibility, including two fireplaces, built-in shelving, and an exceptional family room with a vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling that adds an idyllic sense of character and scale. A gorgeous wall of windows and sliding doors bring the outdoors in and open directly to the peaceful backyard, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining, and gathering. A separate bedroom wing houses all three bedrooms and two bathrooms, lending to a quiet sense of privacy and separation from the main living areas. The primary bedroom features its own ensuite bathroom, while the two additional bedrooms have beautiful natural light throughout. Closet organizers add everyday functionality, and a conveniently located laundry nook completes this side of the home. Throughout the space, stunning hardwood floors, pretty light fixtures, charming built-ins, and fresh white paint create a cohesive aesthetic that feels welcoming, cozy, and effortlessly elevated. The mix of classic character and understated, timeless finishes is beautifully balanced, resulting in a home that feels both intentionally designed and wonderfully livable. Just a block from the highly regarded Mary Collins School at Cherry Valley, a public TK-8 charter school, and minutes from the vibrant downtown, 729 Elm Drive offers a lovely blend of neighborhood charm and West Petaluma living.
