This is the house many of you have been waiting for. A truly 4-C house, and “C” is not a grade. It stands for Cool, Comfortable, Contemporary, and Convenient.
Located 1/2 block off the Sonoma Plaza, Lux on First is ideally situated close to the restaurants, wine tasting rooms, boutiques and historic sites in downtown Sonoma. Simple on the outside albeit totally redone, this 2BR/2BA has a cool vibe with a complete renovation to the highest standards, a beautifully refurbished pool (no pool cover) with water-spout feature, a new curved deck overlooking the pool, an outdoor fire pit, outdoor dining table and all-new landscaping. To us it is reminiscent of the chic small homes of lower Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades for those familiar with the neighborhoods of LA. Lux on First is a rare in-town oasis.
Good to Know
Although just off of Sonoma Plaza, Lux on First offers privacy with a completely fenced in back yard. The living room features a gas fireplace, large flat screen TV, Sonos audio system and king sleep sofa. Each of the bedrooms has a flat screen TV and the wet bar area includes a small wine refrigerator.
Eat, Drink & Play
