The story
Craftsman Home full of character and thoughtfully updated. This single-story, two-bedroom, two-bath stucco home enjoys a desirable Vineyard Avenue location close to downtown St. Helena. A covered front porch welcomes you into a warm, inviting living room featuring oak hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and Craftsman-style built-in glass-front bookcases. Nine-foot ceilings enhance the open great room, which flows naturally into the dining area and remodeled kitchen. The kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, abundant upper and lower wood cabinetry extending to the ceiling, a walk-in pantry, recessed lighting, stainless-steel appliances, and a gas range with a stainless-steel hood. French doors open directly to the spacious backyard, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The versatile front bedroom includes carpeting, a Murphy bed, a custom window bench with pullout drawers, built-in bookshelves, a closet, and an en-suite bath with a clawfoot tub. Privately situated at the rear of the home, the primary bedroom offers two sets of closets, an en-suite bath with a tiled walk-in shower and built-in bench, and a glass door providing direct access to the backyard and nearby hot tub. The expansive backyard is designed for relaxation, recreation, and productivity. A detached office features a solar skylight and dedicated split HVAC system, while a newly built detached exercise studio offers a pitched ceiling, mirrored wall, light-toned engineered vinyl plank flooring, dual-pane Marvin windows, a ceiling fan, sliding glass door, and a large walk-in closet with adjustable wall-to-wall shelving. Additional outdoor highlights include a five-person hot tub, raised vegetable beds, a fountain, plum and peach trees, two Meyer lemon trees, a gazebo, storage shed, new driveway hedges, and an approximately 100-foot gravel driveway with a weed barrier.
