Minimalist interior design emerged in the 1990’s and never really went out of style. The pared down, stripped back, “less is more” style was created as an alternative to more extravagant aesthetics forcing the home owner to strip down to the bare necessities.
The contemporary farmhouse at 19180 Orange Avenue in Sonoma is a good example of this simple unfettered style. Characterized by clean lines, pared down silhouettes and a concise color palette, minimalist modern homes offer an escape from all the clutter and chaos.
Built in 2019, 19180 Orange Avenue is a blank slate waiting to be customized by the right owner. The hub of the home is an elegant gallery-like great room with a blazing hearth at one end that warms the combined space for cooking, dining and relaxing with guests. Twenty-four foot long glass walls frame million-dollar views of a pool, vineyards, redwoods and mountains.
Radiating out from the great room you will find a master bedroom wing to the north with a bonus media room and office. To the south, the guest wing has two simply elegant suites with patio access and private bathrooms.
But my favorite room in the house is by far the pantry. Located next to the great room, this bonus room features a second dishwasher, laundry, sink and extra cabinets. In minimalist homes like these, storage rooms are essential for hiding all those things you just couldn’t get rid of.
