About This Home

Tucked among the redwoods in the heart of Forestville, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of character, functionality, and Russian River lifestyle. Thoughtfully lifted the home provides peace of mind while keeping you close to all the natural beauty the area has to offer. Step inside to discover warm wood beam ceilings, a vaulted skylight, and a light-filled living area that feels like a true forest sanctuary. The open kitchen flows naturally into the living space, with tree-framed windows bringing the outside in at every turn. Enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets from the expansive deck - your own private perch among the trees. A separate utility room with washer and dryer adds everyday convenience, while a brand new roof means one less thing to worry about. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or investment near the river, this property delivers on all fronts.
