107 6th Street

When an architect restores their own home, extra care goes into every detail. Such is the case with 107 6th Street in Petaluma, a spectacularly remodeled Victorian farmhouse where premium finishes abound. The home features walnut hardwood floors, a teak primary bathroom vanity, custom walnut kitchen cabinetry, and large entertaining decks. Additionally, a newly built garage offers a permitted early-stage ADU above, providing valuable expansion space for a future office, craft room, or guest suite. Steeped in history, this early 1880s home dates back to Petaluma's pioneer days. It was purchased in 1895 by Louis Antonio Capucetti, a prominent Swiss immigrant and proprietor of Main Street's French-Italian Restaurant, who married his wife Marie inside the farmhouse. Marie became well-known locally for her prize-winning chrysanthemums and pet canaries. By the 1940s, ownership shifted to another notable local figure, Harry J. Olberg Jr., the city editor for the Argus-Courier. Today, the home has been spectacularly remodeled to bring it into the present day. A fabulous three-stage great room greets you: a picture window and fireplace, a dining room with a piano window. Two main-floor bedrooms and a Carrara marble bathroom allow for single-level living. Upstairs, you will find a chic black-tiled bath, office, and spacious primary suite.
