The photos begin the story. The experience starts beyond the gate. From the street, 970 Glenwood appears quietly tucked behind its hedge. Step inside and the property opens into something unexpected: a private, park-like retreat with two complete residences, a pool, sport court, waterfall and orchardall on one Sonoma parcel. The main house is a 1955 Eichler-style home completely remodeled in 2024, with its entire interior freshly repainted in September 2026. Its 1,056 square feet live larger than expected, with three bedrooms, two full baths, open-beam ceilings, four skylights, walls of glass, a wood-burning fireplace and French doors from both the living room and primary bedroom. The remodeled kitchen and baths, era-appropriate lighting, smart TV, Nest climate control, Ring doorbell, ADT security and EV charger make it comfortable from day one. Behind the main house, 972 Glenwood is a legal, permitted 608-square-foot second residence completed in late 2025 and rarely lived in. It offers a full kitchen with waterfall quartz, induction cooking, built-in microwave and dishwasher; one full bedroom; a spa bath with Mr. Steam shower, built-in bench, gold fixtures and smart toilet; an office nook; generous storage; outdoor shower; and a new LG washer and dryer. Its appliances have never been used. Between the two homes, the grounds create their own destination: a built-in pool, covered patio with adjustable louvered roof, and a 19-by-30-foot sport court with painted lines and a 72-inch Mega Slam hoop. An artisan waterfall by Brit Wilkens of Killer B Gardens flows beneath three mature oaks, while apple, pear, lemon, lime and pomelo trees complete the garden. Owned solar photovoltaic panels serve the home, and a separate solar-thermal system heats the pool; some reported PG&E bills have been as low as approximately $50 per month. No HOA. Live in one residence and rent the other, welcome family across generations, create a private work retreat, or simply enjoy both homes as one turnkey Sonoma sanctuary. Minutes from Sonoma Plaza, wineries and Sonoma Valley Regional Park. Do not judge this property from the curb. Come through the gate, stay a while, and see why the most memorable part of 970 Glenwood cannot be captured in a drive-by.
