♦♦♦♦♦Mother's Beach River Retreat - First Time Available since 1974♦♦♦♦♦ ♦Welcome to your own private retreat near the Russian River. Available for the first time since 1974, this classic 2-bedroom, 1-bath raised bungalow offers 916 sqft of living space on an expansive 8,880 sqft lot. Long enjoyed as a summer retreat by the same San Francisco family for more than five decades, the property has been the backdrop for generations of gatherings, river adventures, and lasting memories. ♦Built in 1933, the home blends vintage character with thoughtful updates. Recently refreshed with new interior and exterior paint, updated light fixtures, outlets, switches, and much more, the colors and improvements were carefully selected to preserve the home's original charm. The result is a home that feels fresh and inviting without sacrificing the character that makes river properties so special. ♦Located just a few houses from Mother's Beach, you'll enjoy easy access to the Russian River for swimming, wading, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the water. Launch a leisurely float down the river and take in the beautiful scenery, towering trees, and abundant wildlife that have drawn families to this area for decades. ♦The home features a flexible layout that includes a living room, den, two bedrooms, kitchen, bath, and a large front porch that expands the living space outdoors. Wood flooring, a brick hearth with wood-burning stove, and the relaxed atmosphere of a classic river cabin create a warm and welcoming environment year-round. ♦This is an opportunity to own a Russian River property at an attractive price point. Enjoy all that the Russian River area has to offer while remaining conveniently located near Sebastopol, Windsor, Healdsburg, and Santa Rosa, making commuting and everyday errands surprisingly accessible. ♦While the recent improvements provide a solid foundation, there is still room for the next owner to add their own personal touches and vision. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or vacation retreat, this property makes it easy to enjoy everything that draws people to the Russian River year after year. ♦Property to be sold as-is.
