Set at the end of a small, private lane shared by just a few homes, this property offers a quiet setting with no through traffic—tucked back just enough to feel removed, while still close to everything.
Owned by the original family, this has been a home full of real life—busy days, quiet moments, and everything in between—and a place that’s been deeply lived in and cared for over the years.
It’s the bike rides down the lane, the afternoons spent outside, the everyday rhythm of coming home and settling in. The open layout makes it easy to stay connected, whether at the kitchen table or working side by side at the built-in desks.
The kitchen is spacious and well designed, opening directly to the living area—easy, connected, and well suited to how people actually live. The living room is anchored by a custom fireplace mantel, floating shelf, and built-in media cabinet.
Designed as a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, the layout offers flexibility with all bedrooms upstairs, creating a natural separation from the main living spaces below. Downstairs, the front room provides a quieter space to unwind. Just beyond, the formal dining room has been reworked into a built-in office with custom shelving and two workstations.
Out back, the yard is well cared for and comfortable, with room to garden, relax, or spend time outside. It feels private and peaceful.
The garage includes built-in storage, and the oversized driveway provides extra parking and everyday ease, with an EV charger already in place.
Fresh interior paint, new carpet, and clear pride of ownership give the home a clean start for its next chapter.

Old-timers will remember Petaluma as the egg basket of Sonoma County. Thousands of chicken farms once operated on the outskirts of town. Today, Petaluma retains its rural feel, but those chicken farms have given way to vineyards, and increasingly, housing developments for residents who appreciate the access to relatively affordable homes and the direct commute to San Francisco 35 miles south on Highway 101.
If there is a single word to describe Petaluma and its homes, it is “picturesque.” The older part of town to the west of Highway 101 has retained many of its old Victorian homes, the former mansions of the chicken barons. Petaluma's commercial core is on the National Register of Historic Places. The central shopping district, mainly two-story stone buildings, has recently undergone a revitalization that includes an emphasis on downtown living. Dozens of antique shops operate in the old-town district.
Petaluma is graced with a riverfront -- once the third-busiest in California -- that has been restored, as well as a river walk. The galleries along the river showcase works from some of the best artists in the North Bay. Restaurants along the river provide a perfect place to gaze at sailboats as they pass through the distinctive D Street drawbridge. The annual Butter & Egg Days Parade & Festival, held in April, hearkens back to a simpler time.
