About 825 Cleveland Avenue
Set on approximately five picturesque acres just minutes from downtown Petaluma, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath 1904 farmhouse offers a rare blend of vintage character, modern resilience, and country flexibility. Original hardwood floors and period detailing have been thoughtfully paired with tasteful updates throughout, creating interiors that feel at once warm and current. A freshly painted exterior in a sophisticated designer palette anchors the home's curb appeal, while substantive infrastructure delivers genuine self-sufficiency: an owned 32-panel solar system, upgraded electrical panel, private drinking well, dedicated landscape well, and septic system. Beyond the house, the grounds are built for a life lived outdoors and on the land. Dedicated space for a garden and orchard awaits the next owner's vision, while a barn, workshop, and equestrian facilities including a round pen accommodate horses, hobbies, and serious projects. The expansive, usable acreage opens up room for entertaining, gardening, and the kind of breathing room that's difficult to find this close to town. Future possibilities are already in motion: preliminary concept drawings are available for a pool and expanded pool house compound, offering the next owner a meaningful head start on transforming the property into a true private retreat. (Buyer to verify all feasibility, permitting and zoning with Sonoma County.) Whether envisioned as a private estate, equestrian property, weekend escape, or self-reliant family compound, this is a rare offering in one of Sonoma County's most coveted corridors where scenic beauty, usable land, and genuine independence converge minutes from one of the Bay Area's most beloved small towns.
