Exterior

A meandering wine road brings you to the scenic Kenwood area, home to chateaus with turn-of-the-century vines and new eco-boutique wineries. Up a lane bordered by vineyards is Rosewood, set among stately trees with wide swaths of green lawns and over 250 rosebushes. Brick pathways lead you through the beautifully landscaped grounds to a deep blue pool that has an uninterrupted view from majestic Sugarloaf Mountain to the lush valley.

Take another path and stroll under soaring redwood trees, then stop along the way in a sheltered grove and absorb its tranquility. Farther along are acres of vines—bright green in spring, laden with fruit in summer and a riot of gold and rust colors in autumn. In winter Sonoma Creek bubbles along as it curves its way around the edge of the property, still fresh from its waterfall beginnings high above in Sugarloaf Ridge Park.

An ivy covered arch leads into the grounds whose level expanses make it ideal for celebrations. A white pergola near the pool provides intimate alfresco dining with the sounds of trickling water in the background. There is a cutting garden where you can choose your own bouquet and raised vegetable beds for produce that goes from sun-warmed garden direct to your table.

The home’s neo-Colonial design with its dormer windows, wide balconies and verandas is the perfect backdrop for a wine country wedding or a special celebration. French doors open to the entertainment area made from Connecticut blue stone with an outdoor grilling station and a brick terrace edged with boxed hedges and roses extends from the house. It’s easy to picture yourself and the lovely memories you can create in this beautiful place.

Interior

Rosewood glows with polished wood floors and light from the myriad French windows and doors that provide a soft radiance throughout the home. Completely renovated with the finest amenities and new designer furnishings, the interior is a pleasing blend of gracious architecture and contemporary accents.

High ceilings and crown molding are contrasted with muted yellow walls and a second-floor skylight illuminates the broad wooden staircase. A flowing floor plan unites the first floor, yet allows for distinct environments. The living room has an inviting feel with its marble fireplace and French doors to the veranda. In the other wing, a family room offers space to engage in games, gather around the fireplace to socialize, read, or simply relax and watch the flatscreen TV.

The formal dining room’s deep chocolate walls set off the antique Chinese table, and a casual dining area connects to the spectacular kitchen. All new professional grade appliances and custom Caesarstone and white marble counters will tempt the amateur cook and pamper the master chef or caterer.

Upstairs, the sleeping areas are designed for privacy and serenity. Two bedrooms suites with generous baths are set at opposite ends of the floor. The master has a sitting area with a carved wooden bed, a gas fireplace and French doors to the upper balcony. The bath sparkles with a glass and white marble shower, separate marble vanities and rich wood floors.

An office/den provides workspace for planning and online access. The middle bedroom is a sweet children’s room that will make every child feel happy and at home. The bath has a tiled shower over tub. The front bedroom, with a view to the trees and grounds and a hand-carved four-poster bed, is a tranquil retreat. The bath, with a white tiled shower over tub, features a custom marble topped vanity.

The deep balcony extends the length of the home and presents an enchanting vista of the grounds and vineyards. Here you can indulge in quiet meditation or prepare to toss the bouquet to the gala crowd waiting below. Rosewood is the perfect setting for an exceptional celebration and memories that will last a lifetime.
