This charming home has great character with a simple elegance and is located in the heart ♥ of the world famous Napa Valley wine country. This two bedroom, two bathroom, home has been redone, down to the studs, over the past 10 years. Located on a corner, .23± acre lot, it’s a gentle head turner.  Past the delicate ironwork fence, a simple garden path leads you home to the front door and a beautiful oak entry with a marble tiled foyer.

Ten years ago, the current owner embarked upon a campaign to restore the home to its former glory while adding many modern upgrades that do not detract from the home’s old world charm. The front section of the home features gorgeous oak wainscoting, crown molding, oversized framed windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and high ceilings.  The two sunny ☼ and truly beautiful bedrooms, two large well appointed marble bathrooms, the small computer room, the formal living room with vintage style fireplace with a lovely wooden mantle, all have cheerful garden views. Huge closets and lots of storage space. The detailed woodwork on the windows, doorways and floors demonstrate a high level of craftsmanship and architectural design.  Through the formal living room you step down into the back portion of the house: a large modern style great room with its own cozy fireplace and separate dining area, large open eat-in kitchen. The great room, dinning room and kitchen have six (!) 8 foot sliders going out to separate patio areas. The addition integrates well into the original structure and does not change the face of the older portion of the house. Over 2,100 sq. ft. of living space. This home offers the perfect blend of casual lifestyle and gorgeous old world charm.

Imagine relaxing in the private, fenced in backyard with a lovely rose garden, mature fruit trees, and multiple patio areas.  Room for a pool? Wonderful for entertaining. The tasteful, established, low maintenance, landscaping includes a rose garden, a lush pale blush pink Camilla tree, majestic old cypress and redwood trees, mature fruit and olive trees.  There is a separate outdoor work shed for potting, hobbies or just extra storage.

Don't miss this great opportunity to own a vintage home, just one block off of St. Helena’s Main Street! You will fall in love with this beautiful vintage home with the charm of the turn of the century. This is an in-town country refuge… relax - listen to the birds, breathe in the country air and leave your cares behind! Later, take advantage of all St. Helena has to offer: renowned restaurants, world class shopping, a velvet seated-jewel box of a movie theatre, parks and bike trails, public tennis courts, and how about a game of bocce ball?  Or, a little wine tasting at a nearby winery?
