Sonoma 3BR home with private heated pool & shaded courtyard dining

Summary:

Bring the wine-tasting crew: this updated 3-bedroom Sonoma home sleeps 6 with a private heated pool (May–Oct), a gas fireplace, and a shaded pergola table for ten. Cook on the chef-quality gas range, stash the day's finds in the wine fridge, and reach Sonoma Plaza's tasting rooms and restaurants in a 10-minute drive.



The Space:

Spend mornings with coffee in the courtyard before the 10-minute drive to Sonoma Square's cafes and boutiques, afternoons winding through 50+ nearby vineyards or the Sonoma Valley Visitors Center, and evenings poolside with a Buena Vista Cabernet and dinner from the grill — all from a quiet residential neighborhood close to the action.



Slide open the living room doors and let the indoor/outdoor space take over, with cream sofas circling the 55-inch TV and the pool deck just a few steps away. Curl up in the second sitting room beside the gas fireplace when you want a quieter corner with a book.



Cook on the chef-quality gas range while someone pours a glass at the granite-topped island — the open layout keeps everyone in the conversation, with a French-door fridge and wine fridge ready for the day's Sonoma finds. Gather eight around the formal dining table or pull up to the casual kitchen table for six, both built for long, lingering meals.



OUTDOOR LIVING

Dive into the private pool (open seasonally May–October, weather permitting) and catch glimpses of rolling hills through the trees from the lounge chairs. Pour drinks under the shaded courtyard pergola where a 10-person table waits beneath string lights, and fire up the gas grill for alfresco dinners surrounded by lavender and lush gardens. Step out to the balcony for another quiet vantage over the yard.

The Neighborhood:

You're perfectly positioned in a quiet residential neighborhood just minutes from everything that makes Sonoma special. Walk 0.3 miles to Dive Bar Coffee for your morning espresso, or drive 10 minutes to Sonoma Plaza where over 20 tasting rooms await — from Three Sticks Wines in a historic adobe to Sigh's dedicated sparkling wine bar. Picazo Cafe (0.7 mi) and il Fuoco Pizza (0.8 mi) offer casual dining nearby, while the Plaza delivers romantic options like the girl & the fig. Stock up at El Verano Market (0.6 mi) or drive 8 minutes to Whole Foods. Ernie Smith Park with its dog area is just 0.3 miles away. This is authentic Sonoma — where locals walk to Valley Swim Club (0.3 mi) and visitors discover hidden gems like Berthoud Vineyards (0.5 mi). You're close enough to enjoy the Plaza's energy yet tucked away for poolside tranquility.



Getting Around:

Sonoma is about an hour from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 37 — a scenic drive across San Pablo Bay wetlands into the Sonoma Valley. Your driveway accommodates 3 vehicles with no street parking available. A car makes Sonoma Valley easy to explore — tasting rooms, restaurants, and parks run up and down Highway 12. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.



Other Things to Note:

• The home stays naturally cool thanks to the air conditioning system — perfect for warm Sonoma summers.

• As a no-shoes property, you'll find the gray tile floors pristine and comfortable.

• The heated pool operates seasonally from May through October, weather permitting.

• Take advantage of the wine fridge to chill your Plaza tasting room finds.

• The smart lock makes late arrivals stress-free — no hunting for keys after a long dinner at the girl & the fig.

• The primary renter must be 25 or older.

• While the home offers high-speed WiFi, you'll likely spend more time by the pool than online.

• Please note: this is a no-shoes home — guests are asked to remove shoes when entering.
