560 Matheson Street, Healdsburg, CA 95448

Half a mile from the Healdsburg Plaza, on one of the most attractive stretches of Matheson Street, this three-bedroom home has been extensively reimagined while keeping its original charm. Light fills every room, and a wraparound porch sets the tone for slow mornings and long evenings outside.

The remodeled kitchen anchors the main level with custom cabinetry, a pantry, and a large gathering counter, while a 16-foot slider opens straight to the deck and garden. A new gas fireplace and refinished oak floors warm the living room. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have vaulted ceilings giving a real sense of space, and the primary bath's soaking tub overlooks the garden.

New Andersen windows and doors, roof, Hardie siding, heat and air conditioning, and a tankless water heater are just some of the many recent improvements. Set on a very private lot, the professionally designed gardens offer bluestone patios, a sunken garden, and a six-person hot tub. Location, light, and an extensive renovation, all in one. Must see to appreciate.
