21541 Highland Terrace

Welcome to "Fernwood," a beautifully renovated Russian River cottage shown in tax records as a two-bedroom home and served by a two-bedroom septic, now thoughtfully opened up by the sellers to create a spacious and airy one-bedroom retreat. Nestled along one of the area's most idyllic lanes, surrounded by lovingly maintained and updated homes, this enchanting hideaway feels worlds away from the everyday. Towering trees, filtered sunlight, and the peaceful sounds of nature create a setting that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Taken down to the studs by the current owners, the home has undergone extensive renovations, including updated electrical and plumbing systems, new insulation, drywall, flooring, and numerous cosmetic improvements throughout. Tucked against hundreds of acres of forestland, with a sitting area perfectly positioned to take in the views, the property enjoys exceptional privacy, front and back decks, and a serene natural backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. Inside, the warm and inviting floor plan is filled with natural light and timeless character, with large windows creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the surrounding landscape. While currently configured as a spacious one-bedroom, one-bath home, the layout can be converted back to two bedrooms if desired. Outside, gated off-street parking for four or more vehicles is a rare and valuable amenity in this neighborhood. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a turnkey investment property, "Fernwood" offers a unique blend of comfort and natural beauty, just minutes from Sonoma Coast State Park, Bodega Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the Russian River.
