Enter your own private piece of paradise ! Tucked away on a park-like acre is Sycamore House, so-called for a spectacular giant 200-year-old native California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) in its backyard. A true rarity in West Sonoma County, this 1929/30 "Jazz Era" French Norman Arts and Crafts house retains most of its original details--including beamed cathedral-style ceilings, brass and copper chandeliers and sconces, Batchelder fireplace-surround tile, oak flooring, and metal casement windows throughout--some contain leaded glass. The second floor includes refurbished custom staircase, a large master-suite with adjacent sitting area and bathroom. Additions and updates include a 1,000-bottle wine cellar, legal separate address and parking for art studio/guesthouse, remodeled kitchen in keeping with the period, and brand-new heating system, electrical and plumbing--including extensive French drain system and recent septic leach field. Sycamore House has three gardens. The front is a “Clos Normand” dedicated to flowers and private "Hephaestus" seating area, the backyard includes a great lawn with formal rose garden, and the backyard include a service area and French Intensive potager's garden. The property also boasts numerous mature oaks,redwoods, redwoods, cypress, spruce and, of course, sycamores. Other nearby natural beauties include the Laguna de Santa Rosa Wetlands Preserve and Joe Rodota Trail. Plus, the property is less than two miles from downtown Sebastopol, Barlow shopping district, fine restaurants, spas, wine tasting ... Please note: the property is an irregularly key-shaped acre and confusingly has three legal addresses. The first address is 5533 Duer Road, which was MISTAKENLY recorded in 1929 and only exists on Sonoma County Records. The house receives mail at legal main address: 5533 Sebastopol Avenue. In addition, there is a third address for the art studio/guest house: 1150 Duer Road, located on the north-west side of the property, and recorded in 2005.
