Luxury Victorian in Downtown Petaluma
Welcome to Bassett Place, a thoughtfully restored Queen Anne Victorian just two blocks from downtown Petaluma. Our home accommodates up to 6 adults & 2-4 children.
Designed with luxury finishes, marble bathrooms, bespoke furnishings, and timeless charm, this home offers a boutique hospitality experience in the Gateway to Wine Country.
Bassett Place offers a full concierge service, a private trained chef, opt cleaning, access to the best of Sonoma County’s dining and wine country.
ABOUT BASSETT PLACE
Step through the doors of Bassett Place and into a world of historic elegance and refined comfort. With four beautifully appointed bedrooms that accommodate up to 6 adults (3 rooms - two kings, one queen) and 2 children (1 twin bunk bedroom), two luxurious marble bathrooms, and a park-like backyard retreat, this is Wine Country living at its most welcoming—offering all the warmth of home with the elevated experience of a boutique stay.
The formal foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings, warm wood floors, and a generous coat closet to settle in with ease. Just beyond, the library parlor invites quiet moments beneath sun-drenched bay windows—perfect for morning coffee, reading, or sharing imaginative play with little ones using our curated collection of STEM-themed children’s books and toys (as well as some classics).
Continue into the formal living room, where a 75" smart TV with streaming access to HBO, Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV blends seamlessly into the elegant surroundings—ideal for cozy movie nights or relaxing after a day of wine country adventures. Adjacent, the bright sunroom has been transformed into a fully equipped home office, comfortably accommodating two remote professionals with a full-size desk setup, ergonomic chairs, and a 42" monitor ready for use. Bassett Place is equipped with reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, suitable for remote work, video calls, and streaming services.
Step through to the formal dining room, where a stunning crystal chandelier hangs above a table that seats eight in comfort—perfect for dinner parties, family gatherings, or intimate meals at home. From here, the space opens into the heart of the home: a charming chef’s kitchen with old time character and nearly Norman Rockwell scene. A six-burner Viking range anchors the space, surrounded by high-end appliances including a KitchenAid stand mixer, Vitamix high-powered blender, and every tool needed to create gourmet meals. The oversized island offers seating for four, while spectacular 8’ French doors frame views of the lush backyard oasis beyond.
The backyard is a true highlight—fully fenced and beautifully landscaped for privacy, it offers a generous space to relax, gather, or entertain. Dine al fresco with views of the wisteria-draped pergola, grill in the outdoor kitchen with a propane BBQ, or unwind under twinkling bistro lights in one of several seating areas. Whether enjoying morning sun or evening wine, the outdoor space is designed to feel like your own private retreat.
Just off the kitchen, the butler’s pantry includes a full wet bar and wine and beverage refrigerator, ideal for entertaining. Nearby, the first-floor bathroom offers a spa-like escape with an oversized soaking tub and private cedar sauna—a perfect way to unwind in luxury.
Ascend the grand staircase to the upper level, where four tranquil bedrooms await. Two king bedrooms provide plush accommodations with luxurious linens, Tempurpedic mattresses, and timeless design. The third features a queen bed (Tempurpedic) and opens onto a private balcony—a romantic perch for morning light or evening air. The fourth bedroom offers charming twin bunk beds, ideal for children or additional guests.
Upstairs, a beautifully finished second bathroom features high-end fixtures and a 7-foot rain shower, designed to elevate everyday rituals into spa-worthy moments.
Whether you’re enjoying wine in the garden, cooking with loved ones, or relaxing in the sauna, every detail at Bassett Place is curated for those who value beauty, comfort, and connection.
ELEVATED HOSPITALITY, TAILORED TO YOU At Bassett Place, hospitality begins before you arrive. Our team is available to curate every detail in advance—from stocking the refrigerator with your preferred wines and provisions to coordinating custom meals with a private chef. Upon arrival, you’ll be personally welcomed by Fernanda, your dedicated concierge, who will walk you through the home and remain on hand throughout your stay to ensure everything runs smoothly.
While concierge support is included, elevated services such as mid-stay housekeeping, personal shopping, and chef-prepared dining are available upon request for an additional fee. Each is tailored to your needs and thoughtfully scheduled to complement your experience.
With Fernanda close at hand, her attentiveness enhances every moment of your stay—while respecting your privacy and preserving the integrity and tranquility of this cherished home.
A PRIVATE CHEF, AT YOUR SERVICE For those seeking a truly exceptional stay, guests may arrange for a private chef experience with a Le Cordon Bleu–trained culinary professional who has cooked professionally for celebrities and HNW individuals alike for nearly two decades. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner under the pergola or simply want the refrigerator stocked upon arrival, our chef and concierge team are available to curate your stay with thoughtful details, local goods, and world-class taste.
