Follow the road out to the Russian River and you'll find this peaceful little pocket just off Highway 116 quiet, semi wooded, and a world away from the everyday. Tucked at the end of Sylvan Way, this well-loved 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home is single level, with just a few steps to the front door. The river is part of the lifestyle here. Recent heavy pruning and landscaping have opened up beautiful views, and steps from the property lead right down toward the water grab the kayaks, walk down, and put them in. The home sits elevated above the flood zone and has never taken on water. Inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create an easy, open feel. There's a formal dining room plus a kitchen with its own bar-style dining area, making the home comfortable for both everyday living and gathering with friends. A detached garage includes a spacious extra room that works beautifully as an game room, guest space, or storage. And then there's the location: about 5 minutes to Duncan's Mills for coffee, dinner and a little village wandering, roughly 10 minutes to the Sonoma Coast and beaches, and close to all the river has to offer. This is Russian River living peaceful, private, and connected to the outdoors, with the coast just down the road. It's good to be home.
