Set high on a private cul-de-sac and approached by its own secluded drive, 401 Oak Brook Place is a rare and deeply personal expression of mid-century inspired design in Sonoma County. Conceived and built in 1979 by renowned Santa Rosa architect Thomas Fruiht as his own residence, the home reflects a thoughtful architectural vision shaped by the principles of mid-century modernism and the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright. From the outset, the design is oriented around its settingintentionally positioned to capture sweeping, unobstructed views across the Valley of the Moon. Expanses of glass, elevated vantage points, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape create a living experience that is both grounded and expansive. Set on approximately two acres, the property offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining moments from the amenities of Oakmont. Inside, the architecture unfolds with clarity and purpose. A dramatic formal living room with 18-foot ceilings anchors the home, where natural materials and Fruiht's use of unfinished redwood introduce warmth and texture. A custom fireplace serves as both focal point and gathering place, while the adjoining formal dining roomwith its built-in hutchcontinues the home's quiet emphasis on craftsmanship and continuity. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Viking gas range, complemented by a walk-in pantry and integrated workspace. It opens naturally to a breakfast area and family room, where a raised hearth fireplace and direct access to the outdoors reinforce the home's effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The bedroom wing offers two guest bedrooms and a primary suite that opens to its own private deckan intimate vantage point to take in the surrounding hills and ever-changing light. A bonus sunroom provides a flexible space for a studio, office, or creative retreat, further enhancing the home's livability. Though located within Oakmont, the property evokes the feeling of Wild Oakprivate, quiet, and immersed in nature. The views are among the most compelling in the Valley of the Moon, offering a daily connection to the landscape that is both serene and inspiring. A home of architectural integrity and provenance, 401 Oak Brook Place is not simply a residence, but a reflection of design intentcrafted by an architect for his own life, and now offered for the next chapter.
