About this home
Discover storybook Russian River living at 15343 Willow Road, a sun-filled 1925 cottage tucked beneath towering redwoods in Rio Nido, just minutes from downtown Guerneville. The seller calls it her Hallmark movie home, and the charming farmhouse-inspired setting explains why: garden patios, sunshine filtering through the trees, and a seasonal creek behind the property. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 768 sq. ft. of single-level living with wood floors, skylights, abundant windows, an inviting living and dining area, and a spacious primary bedroom. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, tile countertops, an electric cooktop and oven, and a passthrough connecting the living spaces. The beautifully remodeled bathroom blends rustic style with modern details: dual stone-look vessel sinks, a wood-top vanity, sculptural mirrors, black fixtures, striking black-and-white geometric tile, and a generous shower. Seller-reported improvements include the 2022 bathroom remodel, replaced plumbing throughout the home, an updated electric water heater, and exterior painting. Outdoor living shines with a landscaped paver courtyard for alfresco dining, garden plantings and raised beds, a private deck, and a covered pergola area ready for a hot tub. The existing hot tub is excluded from the sale but may be negotiated separately. A separate laundry building with finished walls and flooring, washer and dryer, storage sheds, and covered off-street and guest parking add practical convenience. Currently used as a hosted vacation rental; any future rental use or permits are subject to county requirements and independent verification. Explore the Rio Nido Roadhouse, neighborhood dining and live music, nearby Russian River recreation and seasonal beach access, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, Russian River Valley wineries, and the Sonoma Coast. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a personal Sonoma County getaway, this Rio Nido redwood cottage offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, and the relaxed West Sonoma County lifestyle. Own Your Dreams!
