410 SUNNYVALE DRIVE

This charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1350-sq ft weatherboard storybook home sits on a quiet street. The front porch beckons with pretty planter boxes lined with exotic blooms, picture windows and a stunning, chic oak front door with brass and glass accents – your entryway into a beautiful home situated on private and serene gardens occupying .22 of an acre lot (9583 Sq Ft).

Celebrated landscaper, Mike Lucas of Lucas & Lucas is the creative genius behind the property’s stunning and very private, contemporary French tiered garden design, with mature trees and verdant foliage forming sublime, labyrinth-like hedging. A ‘secret’ garden, iron and stone sculptures, lily pad-lined ornamental pond, and a separate tiered water feature all add to the garden’s sense of serenity and abundance. ‘Certified Wildlife Habitat’ by National Wildlife Federation (NWF), the garden is a place for all to thrive – humans included – in its provision of ‘food, water, cover, and places to raise young’. The patio features a unique arched iron trellis, festooned with magnificent climbing roses – just one of the property’s many delightful alfresco entertaining areas.

This Healdsburg home is brimming with quality features, including white, European oak wood doors throughout. The spacious country-style kitchen features original Saltillo floor tiling, contrasting against all-white cabinetry and plenty of counter space for prepping and entertaining. New appliances include a RO water filtration system and Bosch dishwasher. The adjoining dining and living rooms are flooded with natural light and picture-perfect garden vignettes, visible through numerous windows and further complemented by a soothing sage-green palette adoring internal walls. Saltillo tiles continue throughout the dining room, while a stunning, nine-globe pendant light provides dreamy illumination for gatherings. The adjoining living room includes stunning floorboards and a white-washed wood-burning corner fireplace, while ceiling speakers in both living and dining rooms impart aural purity and cozy ambiance.

All three bedrooms include oak flooring, custom, built-in ‘organizer’ cabinetry, and feature lighting. An elegant and modern glass chandelier graces the master bedroom, along with double French doors leading out to a Juliet-style balcony overlooking the outdoor sanctuary.

Two recently remodelled bathrooms offer true respite. Ample storage and striking designer marble, tile, feature lighting, vanities, tapware and feature brass and glass ensure serenity and pampering prevail. A nearby spacious walk-in linen closet is an additional storage boon.

Despite its 1964 vintage, this energy-efficient home has ‘mod-cons’ including ducted air-conditioning, and a SMA inverter and 10 professionally installed Smart Energy USA solar panels, with an equivalent generator rating of 3000 watts. Installed in November 2011, with a 25-year limited-service warranty, you are assured of many years of reliable and sustainable energy.

An oversized one-stall garage will safely accommodate your vehicle of choice, as well as plenty of recreational ‘toys’, gadgets and paraphernalia. An electric car charger, washer and dryer are also appreciated garage inclusions, while the instant/on-demand water heater ensures reliable hot water for the entire home.

Charming shopping experiences await at nearby The Plaza – a literal stroll or short bike ride away, and includes popular grocery outlet, Big John’s.
