About This Home

This is pied-a-terre living elevated. This mini compound was significantly renovated in 2023, it is set on a quarter acre minutes from downtown St. Helena. A single-level one bedroom 595 sq ft cottage anchors the property with the quiet confidence of a true retreat. Steps away, 214 sq ft studio shed offers complete independence: a creative escape, media room or a private office. The Cottage, Case Del Sol, is painted inside and out with a striking yellow front door and is move-in ready. The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined: white shaker cabinetry, a butcher block countertop for prep and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is equally considered, with a walk-in subway tile shower, matte black hardware throughout, and a high-end exhaust fan with integrated heat. The studio has modern board-and-batten siding. Step onto the weathered wood deck outfitted with yellow lounge chairs and potted planters. Inside, a bright open studio with a dedicated desk, task lighting, and a mini-split system for year-round comfort. New insulation and drywall make it as functional as it is appealing. The third structure is the laundry unit, 103 sqft, which also includes an abundance of storage space. Square footage includes all 3 structures. The grounds consist of landscaping that frames the property with intention: native shrubs, olive trees, white crepe myrtle, ginkgo, and maple trees. Gravel, bark mulch, and statement boulders minimize upkeep. Classic brick and paver pathways connect the structures. A large sail shade canopy shades the patio seating area. A freestanding hammock awaits. Solar lighting animates the garden at dusk, controlled via Wi-Fi. Valley and Mountain Views meet you at the end of the road, this neighborhood is tucked off of Hwy 29 and Zinfandel and is surrounded by the beauty of Napa Valley.
