The space Herb Retreat Beautifully and thoughtfully designed in modern-farmhouse style, Herb Retreat is an exceptional home base for wine-tasting, exploring the Russian River, and entertaining in comfort and style. Enjoy a private heated swimming pool, an expansive terrace for lounging and dining, and an unbeatable location where the best of Sonoma County is at your fingertips. This four-bedroom home sits near the heart of Windsor, with Healdsburg to the north, Santa Rosa to the south, and the Russian River, Napa, and Sonoma Valleys all within a short and scenic drive. As you return home from your daily excursions, you'll be greeted by wondrous outdoor spaces - take a dip in the heated pool, relax poolside with a glass of local wine, or make use of the built-in outdoor kitchen and dining table to host an afternoon barbecue. As the sun begins to set, you can gather around the firepit or move into the pool house rec room to play games and watch movies on the big-screen TV. The interior of the home is another beautiful space for entertaining, offering hardwood floors, high-end furnishings, and central air conditioning. Past the entry hall and powder room is an open, light-filled great room, the heart of which is the gourmet kitchen. It's a fantastic space for the enthusiastic home chef, offering professional-grade appliances (including a French-door refrigerator, a wine cooler, and a gas range), a spacious island with bar seats for four, and an adjacent dining table hewn from natural wood. Completing this space is an inviting sitting area with dual sofas, a big-screen TV, and a gas fireplace. At night, you'll find that the bedrooms are wonderfully separated for privacy. There are three on the main floor, each in its own corner, including a primary suite with direct patio access, a flatscreen TV, and a spa-like private bathroom. The other two bedrooms on the ground floor share a bathroom between them. The charming fourth bedroom and third full bathroom are upstairs, as is a dedicated office where you can escape to take the occasional work call.
