Location:
Lark Manor is a truly luxurious home, located high on the hill in Guerneville's "Morningside" neighborhood, amongst other exclusive homes in a quiet, tranquil setting. It's a ten minute walk down the hill to downtown Guerneville's shopping, dining, nightlife and Johnson's Beach with boat rentals and shallow lagoon.
House:
Sleeping eight in glamorous comfort, historic Lark Manor has been lovingly updated with a world-class art collection, oriental rugs over gorgeous hardwood floors, and faux-finishes which dazzle the eye with rich textures and colors. The living room features a large river rock fireplace, a high-definition 42" flat-screen television with DVD, HBO & surround sound, and views into the garden and forested mountains beyond. The living room opens to a rock-walled garden patio with an outdoor dining set seating four.
The kitchen is a chef's delight with stainless appliances including a six burner Thermador Professional gas stove, a griddle and two ovens. The kitchen has a sitting room with a high-quality stereo, and just outside, there's another stone patio with dining set for six and gas grill. From here, there are a few steps to a wood deck with another dining set for four and the hot tub deck just beyond. Set off a hall between living room and kitchen, and with its own door to the patio, the formal dining room seats eight in elegance. For those who want to stay connected, there's high-speed cable Internet access.
Lark Manor has four gorgeous bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms. There's a half bath on the ground floor. Also on the ground floor, the master suite is furnished with a king bed, fireplace and flat-screen television with DVD and VCR.
