Contemporary homes can be awe-inspiring, but from time to time I return to the classics. Homes built in the traditional farmhouse style feature nostalgic wrap-around porches, vaulted barn-like ceilings and comfortable family living quarters built for form and function.

The classic 1920’s home at 2700 Thornsberry Road in Sonoma delivers classic farmhouse style and opulent modern luxuries. Upon entering the home you will travel back in time to an era of porch swings and mint juleps. The wrap-around deck offers panoramic views of Sonoma Valley from the home’s hilltop locale. Step from the deck into the massive open-concept great room with TWO fireplaces, floor to ceiling windows and cathedral ceilings. The living/dining area flows into a kitchen/family room with another fireplace, built-in bookshelves and modern stainless steel appliances. Settle in for the evening in one of three comfortable bedrooms in the main residence or walk on over to the detached grandmother unit ideal for in-laws or long-term guests.

The grounds aren’t too shabby either. The home sits on a private 25-acre lot with manicured English gardens, raised beds, a pool and built-in barbecue.
