SPACIOUS LIVE-WORK CONDO STEPS FROM SONOMA PLAZA

This charming 3 bedroom 3 bathroom updated condo features a creative layout ideal for the live-work lifestyle. Located just steps from the historic Sonoma Plaza and its abundance of dining, shopping, and tasting experiences, you’re greeted with a variety of activities within moments of closing your front door. With this prime location you will be fully immersed in the magic that Sonoma offers its residents.

The first floor of this three-story condo is uniquely designed to accommodate the popular work-from-home lifestyle. From the private entrance, and multiple layout options, this floor is ideal for a home office, studio, or other creative space. The open kitchen and living/flex area are just off the entry. There is a full bath in the hallway featuring quartz countertops, a spacious vanity, and a walk-in shower. The bedroom, or living space, is at the end of the hall and it opens onto a serene, shady patio, which is perfect for taking in the warm summer evenings. There is also a spacious walk-in closet with lighting and abundant storage space. This downstairs unit houses the utility closet where you can access a separate cooling system for the first floor.

As you leave the first level you’ll follow a wide staircase to the main living space. The high ceilings and windows let in plenty of natural light and the open floor plan provides ample space for both entertaining and lounging. The kitchen has white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The open shelving area above the sink is perfect for displaying special cookware or wine glasses from your favorite Sonoma wineries. The focal point of this room is the iron spiral staircase. This unique and creative design piece is one of the things that makes the Carneros Lofts condos so remarkable.

There is another full bathroom with a tub and shower combo featuring beautiful grey tile located on the second floor, as well as a spacious bedroom with large windows. The third floor of this condo has a loft layout for the primary bedroom, and you’ll also find a full bathroom with another tub and shower combo. The laundry closet is conveniently located across from the bathroom, and it includes generous storage space.

The light grey wood-grain laminate flooring and custom up-or-down window treatments found throughout the home add to the modern aesthetic. The star feature of the third floor is the balcony found just off the breezeway from the bathroom. As you open the balcony door you’re greeted with a delightful seating area overlooking the shared courtyard and out to the beautiful Sonoma landscape. This special spot is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee or sharing a bottle of wine with friends.

Parking is made easy with a private gated garage and two dedicated parking spaces. The residential area of the complex also features gates at both entry/exit points, which provides added security and privacy during nights and weekends.

This unique condo combines function, comfort, and sleek design in an incredibly desirable location. Whether you’re taking a stroll on one of the nearby bike paths, shopping at a local boutique, or dining out at a Plaza restaurant, there is always something new to experience.
