What immediately stands out about this property is authenticity. Many homes attempt to recreate classic Craftsman style, but this home is the real thing. Known as “Little Bohemia,” the residence reflects the early era of Monte Rio and the Russian River vacation movement when San Franciscans escaped to the redwoods for relaxation, creativity, and river living. Original woodwork, handcrafted details, built-ins, and stunning arched windows give the home warmth and character rarely found in today’s market.

The living room is the centerpiece of the home. Large curved windows frame the surrounding redwoods like living artwork, bringing filtered natural light into the space throughout the day. Rich wood floors, detailed trim work, and white ceilings create a balance between historic charm and a lighter, brighter modern feel. The home has clearly been meticulously maintained over the years while preserving its architectural integrity.

The floor plan offers flexibility and comfort. The spacious primary suite opens directly onto a private deck overlooking the forested surroundings, creating a peaceful retreat immersed in nature. Additional upstairs bedrooms provide space for guests, family, or home office use. There is also a finished attic area that functions as a bonus sleeping quarters, studio, or creative space tucked beneath the roofline.

Downstairs, the home opens into an elegant dining space and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, designer countertops, stainless steel appliances, pantry storage, and handcrafted details that complement the home’s historic roots. The blend of old-world craftsmanship with thoughtful modernization is one of the property’s strongest qualities.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. Expansive decks wrap around the home and provide multiple areas for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the tranquil redwood setting. A hot tub near the front entrance adds to the retreat-like atmosphere. The property sits privately off the road with a serene forested backdrop while still remaining conveniently close to downtown Monte Rio, the Russian River, the Sonoma Coast, and Sonoma County wine country.

Starrett Hill has long been one of Monte Rio’s most desirable hillside neighborhoods due to its combination of privacy, sunshine, towering redwoods, and proximity to the river. Homes of this architectural quality and historical significance rarely become available in this location.

For buyers searching for Monte Rio real estate, Russian River homes for sale, historic Craftsman homes, or a redwood retreat with authentic Sonoma County character, 9094 Highland Terrace represents an exceptionally rare opportunity.
