18787 Gillman Drive, Sonoma

SUNLIT HOME BY THE PARK

Located directly across from Ernie Smith Park, 18787 Gillman Drive offers a rare combination of cozy comfort, outdoor access, and neighborhood charm. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and approximately 1,575± sq ft of living space on a 6,600± sq ft lot, this is a home designed for connection—to nature, to neighbors, and to Sonoma’s easygoing way of life.

The setting is one of the home’s greatest treasures. From the front deck, you can watch the seasons shift across the park’s oak grove or catch sight of hawks gliding overhead. During rainy months, the creek comes alive, and in spring and summer, children play on the beloved rope swing strung by a neighbor across the street. This is a place where you’ll see familiar faces walking dogs, chatting on morning strolls, or heading to the nearby trails—it’s a friendly, close-knit community that feels quintessentially Sonoma.

Inside, the home is bright and warm, with sunlight streaming through large windows and a sliding glass door that opens directly onto a private deck. The living spaces are designed for comfort and easy flow, perfect for families, entertaining, or peaceful weekend mornings. The kitchen features newer appliances, abundant natural light, and plenty of counter space for cooking and gathering.

The primary suite opens to the deck, an inviting spot to enjoy coffee while hummingbirds perch in the mimosa tree next door. The two guest bedrooms provide flexibility for family, friends, or a home office.

Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated. The kitchen and appliances are just five years old, the floors have been replaced, and a new water heater adds peace of mind. The garage features custom-built cabinetry designed for maximum storage and functionality, creating a space that’s both organized and efficient.

Outdoor living shines here. The backyard is perfectly sized for entertaining, with space for dining under the stars or relaxing in the hot tub after a long day. It’s a place that has hosted everything from lively dinner parties to Easter egg hunts, with laughter spilling out into the evening.

The location is equally ideal—just 10 minutes from Sonoma Plaza and 10 minutes from Glen Ellen. Enjoy easy access to local favorites like Dive Bar for morning pastries, Maxwell Park for shaded hikes, and Jack London Village for wine tasting and boutique shopping.

Whether you’re looking for your first Sonoma home or a charming Wine Country retreat, 18787 Gillman Drive embodies the warmth, community, and relaxed beauty that make Sonoma living so special.
