Property Narrative • Architectural Remarks
Be the best house on the block, and the only one hiding a secret. From the curb, 970 Glenwood Drive is a modest mid-century tucked behind a privacy hedge on a street still waiting for its turn. Open the gate and that story ends. Behind it sits a private, park-like quarter-acre with two complete, independent homes, a pool, a sport court, a stone waterfall and an orchard. It's a setting you'd expect several price points higher, hidden in plain sight. The main residence, 970 Glenwood, is a 1955 Eichler-style home completely remodeled in 2024, with the interior freshly repainted in September 2026. Three bedrooms, two full baths and 1,056 square feet that live far larger: open-beam ceilings, four skylights, walls of glass, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors from both the living room and primary bedroom. Remodeled kitchen and baths, custom closets, era-appropriate lighting on dimmers, Nest, Ring, ADT, EV charger, and an attached garage with full laundry. The second residence, 972 Glenwood, is a legal, permitted 608-square-foot home completed in late 2025 and rarely lived in. Its appliances have never been used. Full kitchen with waterfall quartz, induction cooktop, built-in microwave and dishwasher; one bedroom; a spa bath with Mr. Steam shower, built-in bench, gold fixtures and smart toilet; an office nook with barn doors; its own LG washer/dryer; and an outdoor shower. Between the two homes, the grounds become the destination. A built-in pool with solar-thermal heating. A covered patio under an adjustable louvered roof. A 19x30 sport court with painted lines and a 72-inch hoop beneath three heritage oaks. An artisan waterfall by Brit Wilkens of Killer B Gardens. Apple, pear, lemon, lime and pomelo trees. Owned solar PV keeps utility costs low. Cedar and redwood fencing with coded gates on both sides. No HOA. Here is the opportunity: the street has not caught up to this property, and that is exactly why it is priced where it is. Every other house on the block still has work ahead of it. This one has nothing left to do. You get the finished, turnkey product now, minutes from Sonoma Plaza, world-class wineries and Sonoma Valley Regional Park. Live in one and rent the other, welcome guests for the season, house family across generations, or create a private work retreat. Don't judge it from the curb. Come through the gate and see which door is yours.
