Features

Welcome to 275 France Street, the original Chase farmhouse in the heart of Sonoma.  Step back in time to the welcoming vestibule entry before passing through double glass doors into the long hallway.  To the right is the charming living room with fireplace and bay windows with a window seat...perfect for curling up with a book in the sunny window.  The beautiful formal dining room with built in cabinetry and its own bay window is open to the living room or can be closed off with classic Victorian pocket doors.  

The large sunny kitchen is the heart of the home looking out to the back garden.  The wide-open space can accommodate a large farm table for casual kitchen dinners or a big worktable.  Thoughtfully added skylights and large windows let the outside shine in.  The kitchen is just steps from the backyard with raised garden beds, a refreshing pool with spa, a cabana with sink and fridge and a pool bath with room for changing.  There's even an outdoor shower.  An awning offers shade when enjoying poolside conversation.

Back inside is a cozy tv room or office just off the kitchen.  A primary bedroom suite on the ground floor allows for single level living, if desired.

Upstairs, you'll find three or four bedrooms, depending on your needs.  The largest of the rooms would make a wonderful entertainment center.  Another room could be a home office, leaving two additional bedrooms and a full bath.

All of this charm and livability is perfectly located on Sonoma's East Side.  It's just a few blocks from the historic plaza bordered by shops, restaurants and tasting rooms.  There's no better place to enjoy the good life Sonoma offers, whether it's playing pétanque at Depot Park, hiking the many trails or biking along the paths.  Come to 275 France Street for your place in the Wine Country.

Kathleen Leonard is a woman who knows her terroir. She lives, laughs, entertains, and works in the heart of Northern California’s Wine Country, where the Cabernet is bold, the vistas are breathtaking, and the homes—oh, the homes! —are simply divine.  A proud graduate of UC Davis (that marvelous hub of agriculture, science, and wine!), Kathy grew up in Northern California, where she mastered the ski slopes in winter and horseback riding all year long.  She’s no stranger to rolling up her sleeves either—having bought, restored, and sold properties for more than 20 years before donning her Realtor® apron.  She’s also a true gourmand, having served as President of the San Francisco Professional Food Society and mingled with culinary icons like Robert Mondavi and Julia Child.  Her kitchen—and her contacts—have been filled with world-class chefs and vintners.  For over two decades, Kathy has been a top-producing real estate agent, with a special flair for country properties.  Whether it’s a vineyard estate or a charming farmhouse, she brings seasoned expertise and a generous helping of joy to every transaction.  Beyond the world of real estate, Kathy is a tireless community volunteer.  Kathy serves La Luz in Sonoma, supporting Latino individuals and families.   She has served on the Executive Board of the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, chaired grants committees for Impact 100, and supports treasured causes like the Homeless Prenatal Program and George Mark Children’s Home.  She’s a sustaining member of Junior League Napa Sonoma and a past chair of Slow Food Sonoma—because good food and good people always go together.  According to Kathy, Wine Country is about as close to perfect as a place can be—and her passion for it is as infectious as a glass of bubbly on a summer afternoon.  So if you’re dreaming of your own slice of paradise, come to Wine Country!  Kathy is ready to help you stir, season, and serve up the next delicious chapter of your life.
